Products/Services

Universal Space Systems offers three distinct Space Tourism categories:

  1. For the individual who wants to become a "Space Tourist" but doesn't know how to go about it  or  for the adventurer who already has made the financial commitment (i.e. "reservation") for a space flight, this is your category - Space Adventurer! If you think you know what to expect, read what we have to say in our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report. This is an "evergreen" document that will be continually updated and released with the latest developments in the Space Tourism Industry.
    (Also a great gift idea!  We'll E-mail you a Gift Certificate to hand out; you can order one through our normal order process.)
  2. For the Travel Agency that wants to learn what the competition is offering and to develop an addition to existing travel services by offering space travel options to its clients. This will position a travel agency for future growth by providing clients the most current information available on Space Tourism!
  3. For the Space Tourism Company that wants to develop, or improve upon, a business strategy/plan in this new marketplace for commercial space travel and become an industry leader.
    (Future opportunity for us)

For all categories, Universal Space Systems can provide expertise to assist you in your objective because:

  • We know the space business because our background in Systems, Engineering, Integration and Management experience is in United States government human spaceflight programs.
  • We offer a completely independent perspective (Universal Space Systems has no direct relationship with any of the Space Tourism companies or employees of those companies that we are reporting on. We do not allow any advertising from them on this Web site. We have no investments in any of these companies nor do we receive any compensation from them.)
  • We know what you should expect in a newly developing Space Tourism Industry.
  • We know the right questions to ask.
  • We know what the right answers should be.
  • We have "The Right Stuff".

Space Adventurer

See Space Adventurer Assessment/Report order information below!
Our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report is THE definite reference guide for future "space tourists". Think of this as the "Consumer Reports ®" book on Space Tourism. Some people would also say that our document would be better than a "Space Tourism for Dummies ®" book if there even was one! In this newly emerging and developing space industry known as Space Tourism, Universal Space Systems is pleased to offer our services as your "guide". Just take a look at all the news information that has already come out about Space Tourism and the aerospace companies involved and you will quickly realize that you need Universal Space Systems to sort it all out. Knowledgeable in all aspects of government human space transportation systems, Universal Space Systems will be there to protect your best interests by answering all your questions concerning your commercial sub-orbital or orbital space adventure (see Who We Are). You will make, or already have made, a major financial and personal commitment. Let us be your "Guide Dog" via our our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report, to ensure mission success.

Existing travel companies cannot begin to understand the complexities of commercial space travel and how to best inform and protect the consumer. Space Tourist companies main objective is to sell tickets on their space vehicles to generate revenue and develop their business. According to a recent study commissioned by Space Adventures, Ltd. the sub-orbital space tourist market could generate revenues of over $1 billion (USD) annually. Universal Space Systems will put the focus of space travel where it belongs, on you ("Watch Dog"). Don't simply rely on flashy Web sites, travel brochures, sales presentations or books written by the same people trying to sell you a seat on their spaceship. Make your decision about where to spend your hard-earned travel dollars with someone you can trust with your well being. Because the document will be continually updated and released, it makes no difference whether you are going into space soon or years from now; you will always have the latest Space Tourism information available to you. Make an informed, intelligent decision about your space travel plans with Universal Space Systems information contained in our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report.

Space travel is unlike anything else in terms of a method of transportation. All the knowledge one has about the airline industry, how to make arrangements for travel and what to expect on an airplane ride, simply does not apply to this new form of transportation. If you don't know anything about your spaceport, space vehicle or space flight, then you need the Space Adventurer Assessment/Report. Universal Space Systems will be your "agent for space travel" and will inform you via a comprehensive guide so that you are not left alone to fend for yourself in a newly developing, non-standardized and minimal regulated commercial space travel industry. If you don't know what to expect, don't go it alone, it's not worth the risk.

What you can expect from Universal Space Systems is:

  • A dedicated research staff with your best interests and mission success as the highest priority
  • A REGISTERED Space Adventurer Assessment/Report of the Space Tourism Industry (see Table of Contents below) including detailed information on:
    • Both sub-orbital and orbital space flights information!
    • A report that is continually updated and released with the latest information about the Space Tourism Industry!
    • Risk assessment of spaceflight
    • Complete scorecards on all Space Tourism Companies
    • Space Tourism (FAA) Rules & Regulations information
  • Checklist for your medical information/records
  • A Spaceflight Training Checklist
  • A Spaceflight Checklist
  • Pictures, Reports, Charts/Graphs, Detailed information!
  • Real information you can use

Travel Agency

There are many different opinions on what “Space Tourism” should be, however, they all agree on one thing – space travel is here to stay and it will be the next boom for the travel industry. These same sources have also stated that it will go from an initial hundred million dollar industry to well over a billion dollar industry in the next decade. The Space Tourism Industry now only involves the super wealthy that can actually afford the $20,000,000 (USD) it costs for a round trip ticket to the International Space Station but this will soon change when commercial sub-orbital space travel begins. When this happens, new travel service opportunities for existing travel agencies will begin to develop for those agencies. Some travel agencies have already aligned themselves with a future provider of sub-orbital commercial spaceflights but that is not to say that your travel agency won't be able to do the same thing. Now is the time to take advantage of this ground floor opportunity to learn what space travel is all about, what challenges future space tourists face and what your travel agency competition is offering their clients.

The only way to become part of the Space Tourism Industry is to get involved. A travel agency that doesn't attempt to become part of it will miss out on the chance to dramatically increase company revenue. There will never be another time like the present to learn about an industry that is just now developing and will have major impact on the existing travel industry. Universal Space Systems is pleased to offer our services to assist you in developing your agency into an industry leader because we know what the space tourist wants and what they don't want as part of their space adventure experience. The competition for the space tourist dollars will intensify as the industry slowly evolves into a part of the mainstream travel industry. By ensuring a solid ground on which to begin now, a travel agency can reap the rewards in the future.

Cost/Order

To get involved in this new industry you have to understand what it is all about. As a first step, and for very minimal cost, any travel agency considering entering the Space Tourism marketplace should obtain a copy of the Universal Space Systems Space Adventurer Assessment/Report to learn about space travel and what "Space Tourists" need to know. This is THE reference guide of the Space Tourism Industry. For more information, read the details in the top section above labeled: Space Adventurer.

  • For a single copy of the Space Adventurer Assessment/Report the cost will be the same as if you were an individual purchasing a copy. You can place an order below.
  • For a corporate discount which will allow you to purchase multiple copies of the Space Adventurer Assessment/Report at substantial savings, contact Universal Space Systems at orders@UniversalSpaceSystems.com for more details before you place an order. Put "Multiple Copies" in the subject line of your E-mail.

The next step for a travel agency would be for Universal Space Systems to perform an assessment of, or to develop, your current business strategy/plan and to produce a concise, detailed report with recommendations on the complete spectrum of space travel services that you could offer. The cost for this service would be a negotiated contract fee.

Please use the "Request Form" button on the Travel Agency area below when you're ready to contact us about our consulting service. Briefly describe what your concepts are to develop your agency in this new marketplace and/or what your existing business strategy/plans are. We will contact you to discuss your business situation. If you would like to purchase a copy of our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report you can do that here as well.

Thank You! We look forward to working with you.

Space Tourism Company

(Future opportunity for us to do this type of work - this service is not yet being offered)
The Space Tourism Industry is a new, dynamic world. In this emerging and developing industry only the strong will survive because there are numerous pitfalls associated with space flight and Space Tourism that must be avoided at all costs. Universal Space Systems is pleased to offer our services to assist you in developing or improving your company into an industry leader by avoiding or correcting the pitfalls. We know what the space tourist wants and what they don't want as part of their space adventure experience.

Because this industry is literally starting from the ground up, a strong foundation and infrastructure must be part of the overall business plan to ensure survival. The competition for the space tourist dollars will probably begin on a level playing field but it will heat up over time as the industry slowly evolves into a part of the mainstream travel industry. By ensuring a solid ground on which to begin, a company can position itself to adjust to the changing climate and be a leader, not a follower, setting the standards that others will have to match to remain competitive and succeed.

We applaud the government for initially allowing the Space Tourism Industry to develop on it's own with minimal government intervention, however, unless the industry can set it's own course for success the government will step in and force the industry to change. Universal Space Systems wants the industry to succeed because we are an integral part of Space Tourism. We would like nothing better than for this industry to develop according to the wants of the consumer because the consumer will ultimately determine the success or failure of this entire industry. And, as Gene Krantz, NASA Flight Director for Apollo 13, so eloquently stated, "Failure is not an option."

Universal Space Systems will work with you to develop not only your company but an industry as well. Space Tourism is not just about rocket science, it is about building safe, reliable, affordable space systems that will allow non-astronauts an opportunity to become "astronauts". We want to put your company on the leading edge of making that happen.

Cost/Order

The initial cost for this service, to perform an assessment of, or to develop, your current business strategy/plan and to produce a concise, detailed report of strengths, weaknesses, risks and recommendations on the complete spectrum of space systems (spaceport, space vehicle and space flight operations) would be a negotiated contract fee. The cost for Universal Space Systems to implement our recommendations is also a negotiated contract fee based solely on how much or how little of the work you would like for us to perform/manage.

Please use the "Request Form" button on the Consulting Services area below when you're ready to contact us about this service. Briefly describe what your concepts are to develop your company in this new marketplace and/or what your existing business strategy/plans are. Include any information about your planned or current space systems. We will contact you to discuss your business situation. If you would also like to purchase a copy of our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report you can do that here as well.
