A space capsule that can carry up to six people and a pilot into space is currently being built by the Mumbai-based Space Aura Aerospace Technology Pvt Ltd business. And all of this will occur by 2025. One may observe the curve of the Earth and the vastness of space from a distance of 35 kilometres above sea level.

According to the company’s plans, visitors will be transported 35 kilometres above the planet on a spaceship connected to a special high-altitude balloon system. The 10-foot-by-8-foot spaceship will be equipped with the required communication & life support systems. The space balloon will ultimately disconnect once it is time to return to Earth & begin to gently shrink. To guarantee a safe landing, a parachute will take its place. Travelers can take advantage of this for around an hour.

Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have been chosen as probable launch locations for these upcoming space missions. Additionally, the company intends to reduce the cost of the space journey significantly compared to SpaceX & Blue Origin.
