Desdemona BV offers unique space simulations in co-operation with the Space Training Academy led by astrophysicist, airline pilot and space travel instructor Nancy Vermeulen.

At the Space Training Academy, future space tourists are mentally and physically prepared for space travel through a unique training programme. The training consists of different modules and can be adjusted to accommodate the wishes of the participant. The simulations are also open to people who have no intention of going to space but want to book the space simulations as a team building exercise or a unique experience.

Space Training Academy offers two simulation modules.

Space ranger: the full astronaut experience

This is the full package which contains 3 simulations in the Desdemona simulator:

  1. Launch to the Moon in a Saturn V rocket, followed by docking with the International Space Station “ISS”.
  2. Learn how to land a space shuttle.
  3. A simulation of a commercial space flight from the perspective of a passenger (space tourist).

Space Cruiser: the space tourist simulation

This module contains the simulation of a suborbital commercial spaceflight in the Desdemona flight simulator from the perspective of a space tourist. Discover what it feels like to travel to space as a passenger: from the exhilarating launch to the breathtaking overview effect.
