Zero2infinity offers sightseeing flights in the stratosphere
The Zero2infinity Company located in the Parc Tecnològic del Vallès adjacent to the Barcelona Synchrotron Park, works to offer sightseeing flights in the stratosphere. The so-called Bloon project has already registered its first customers.
The Zero2infinity engineers work on a six-people capsule (four passengers and two pilots) pulled by a helium balloon to reach an altitude of 36 km in one hour. Once stabilized at that height, passengers will have two hours to enjoy the view over the black sky and the Earth’s curvature.
The first test with crew members is scheduled by the end of 2014 and the first commercial flights are expected by the end of 2015. Some people have already booked a seat paying €10,000, approximately 10% of the total cost of the ticket.
