The entire space travel chair has been sold out until 2009

The rates for tourists on flights to the International Space Station (ISS) have been booked by 2009, announced by Anatoly Perminov, director of the Russian Space Agency on November 13.

Perminov said the Russian space agency is in the hands of a list of travelers who register for space travel at the ISS station and all the flights reserved for travelers are reserved until 2009.

According to Perminov, Miassishchev is working on making "space-based" flying spacecraft for tourists to allow space tourists to have a lower price than flights to ISS (currently over 20 million USD for 10-day flight to ISS station). With a space ship of this type, visitors can not fly in orbit around the Earth but can still stay in space for several minutes.

So far, the Russian Space Agency has taken four visitors to ISS.
