Space tourism refers primarily to visit places on the floor. Unlike other types of tourism, this type of tourism is relatively still a dream for many. Space travel itself has been around for more than 40 years since man tried to space flight, then landed on the moon.
Its technology is radically different from all other tourism-related technologies - perhaps because it is relatively new frontier when the plane left - so still competitive and some government agencies.
Space exploration is motivated by the quest for man to understand and exploit the unlimited resources of space. Governments have generally dominated space activities, primarily for military purposes, scientific and communication.
Experts with years of study and testing is the only recognized voice when it comes to space problems. Over the past thirty years, ordinary people have looked to see if space opens to the public for research as a tourist destination unhindered investigation.
This is the birth of space tourism. Space tourism is not so easy to handle than the general requirements for a company of this type of tourism involves technology and the very different conditions of soil condition task.
Foundations of space tourism
Space tourism is an exciting company to earn quick publicity and huge unmet demand. Before the excitement can be done, the basics of space travel must be ordered.
These basic principles are:
Finance - payment for services
Training - familiarity with the conditions of space transportation systems and possible activities for tourists
Launch sites, spaceship - Transport
Docking stations for example - Hosting International Space Station
Finance is now an important factor in the space tourism quite out of the reach of ordinary citizens who are willing to travel in space. The first citizen to fly in space for a week long stay at the International Space Station (ISS) - Dennis Tito - paid a whooping $ 20 million to board the Russian Soyuz.
Since then, some individuals have joined. However, according to Virgin Galactic - one enterprising companies offer commercial space travel - the cost of space travel currently (in 2011) was $ 200,000, with a deposit of $ 20,000. If you intend to stay for a week, the budget can also be triggered in the millions of dollars.
The United States $ 200,000 may not be a huge amount compared to the millions of dollars paid by fees pioneering space tourists, but it is still out of reach for most people.
In addition, training is an important part of space tourism. The Russian Federal Space Agency offers up to six months of training before a space tourist is finally approved for a tour of the space. This is part of the huge financial cost which includes an aptitude test and physical inspection, familiarization with the powerful G-forces during takeoff and landing, zero gravity simulations and more.
In addition, transportation to the next space after the success of the training. Launch sites and reliable spacecraft should be in place to provide space travel when needed. So far, the Russian Soyuz is the only spacecraft to carry space tourists to the International Space Station (ISS) and back, but this vehicle was not designed specifically as a vehicle for space tourism .
Many agencies are pushing the space tourism Russians to build a space tourism spacecraft to allow more space tourist to visit the International Space Station (ie, about 200 miles above the earth) and beyond, or may help optimize drive downhill. This is a work in progress for each spatial organization and government love. The cheap, reliable and secure space transportation is the most problematic of the equation of space tourism game.
In addition, housing issues must be ordered and presents interesting opportunities in space. Currently, housing remains the international space station. However, the ISS was not designed for this purpose.
Therefore, the demand for space hotels for tourists is the cry and, indeed, there are answers. Bigelow Aerospace is preparing for an independent space station mini-tourists with its complex for the entire tour space. Hilton Hotels also expressed interest on. With accommodation in space, is there a limit to other companies? The human imagination has the answer.
In addition, the space tourist destinations can be moved either sub-orbital or orbital. Suborbital space trip includes travel a few miles on the ground, but not in the orbit of another body, like another planet or moon.
In addition, the orbital travel means more suborbital flights. This trip includes admission orbits of other bodies in space, or even other galaxies. The man has a lot of experience with suborbital flights for decades and this is what will be used in preparation for private citizens to space tourism industry.
Many governments, including Malaysia increase awareness and to begin to develop these basic principles to prepare for the promising future of space tourism.
Set of Tourism Malaysia View
The tourism industry in Malaysia is progressive and successful. He aspires to be an international tourist destination. According to the 2010 Report World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Malaysia ranked 9th of international tourist arrivals, welcoming 24.6 million visitors through its doors. The impact of these efforts resulted in the receipt of international tourism of RM 56.5 billion in 2010.
Space Tourism Foundation Malaysia
Development and supervision of space activities is advocated by the National Space Agency of Malaysia (ANGKASA). This government agency is to develop the country's potential in the field of space. The base of space activities in Malaysia lies in the operation of the space center in Malaysia that trains, supervises and operates space equipment, experiences and developing young talent for future space activities.
The National Space Agency of Malaysia is mainly concerned with the science and practice of science at the time. However, the activities of space tourism are preparing to raise enough awareness for the general public to develop interest in the sector. The Government also sponsors several contests to generate interest and participation in the sector.
Given the involvement of space activities from the point of view of governments, the government of Malaysia has shown keen interest in space, such as the development of research activities in space, partnerships with international space agencies infrastructure, advocacy and commercially viable jointly sponsoring experiences.
This includes research in science of gravity, micro space weather and the effects of the scientific payload as shown in the Web site of the National Space Agency of Malaysia. The basis of the global space activity that naturally occurring space tourism activities.
The prospects of space tourism in Malaysia and implications for students
Space activity is growing in Malaysia. As Malaysia approaches its goal of becoming a developed country by 2020, the space sector is to grow. As with other progressive sectors, the private sector is essential for space tourism is finding its place in Malaysia.
The space tourism industry in Malaysia is at the stage of consciousness, leaving a brand new open to being exploited by everybody sector. The tourism industry of the area will require a lot of momentum to grow than other tourism sectors. This growth starts from the national policy on space activities.
When these policies is included for Malaysians, attractive to regional and international investors and the practice of sustainable global demand for space tourism, Malaysia is on the road to the use of space unlimited possibilities . The prospects are huge, but a lot of work to do. I'll work in progress described?
Consider the implications for students. Untapped space tourism raises all sorts of opportunities for students of different disciplines, but requires careful consideration sector. This is because government leadership in the sector affects the attractiveness of the industry in the country and, by extension, the success of the industry.
However, the positive potential of the space tourism industry worldwide in the future is undeniable. Students wishing to participate in the sector because employees must proceed with caution, but students who wish to participate in the industry as pioneers, Trail Blazers and / or researchers are encouraged to take the plunge.
Increasing private sector participation is encouraged by governments, private companies and individuals located in startup problems will be better positioned to reap the benefits of working in the future.
recommendations
Follow-up recommendations if implemented by the authorities of the interest and the development of space tourism in Malaysia will accelerate Malaysia;
The development of a space more visible and convenient clear policy to communicate the benefits of space tourism to all Malaysians
The development of new learning facilities to train Malaysians in activities related to space by focusing on the future of space tourism industry
Provide appropriate incentives for interested students space tourism and space activities
Student interest related to the maintenance of secondary space to prepare for the future of space tourism industry
The development of appropriate feedback mechanisms to better understand people's interest on topics related to space
Develop plans to attract and retain young international talent to strengthen the sector's development
Encourage private business and higher to diversify into products and services related to space education institutions more
Provide the most visible and accessible data on activities related to space to provide incentives for research
Promote space activities with the same vigor as other sectors of tourism promoted in Malaysia
Improve national budget in space related to convey a greater commitment to the sector's activities.
conclusion
In this paper, space tourism, was founded in Malaysia, its future and the implications for students has been studied. It was found that space activities in Malaysia is supported and promoted by the government through the National Space Agency.
Science and scientific activities are mainly the activities of the agency. Space tourism is still at the stage of awareness in the country and more work needs to be done to ensure that you get the momentum to add positively to the economy.
This has huge implications for students. For example, he encouraged interested students to become researchers and pioneers of the industry the opportunity to contribute to the development of the sector.
Relevant recommendations were proposed if implemented will provide the impetus for Malaysia stands out in the space tourism from other third world countries as quickly as it does in other sectors of the economy. What do you think?
