The private American company World View tested the capsule model, which is planned to be used for tourist flights to the stratosphere. For test launch, a prototype was built on a scale of 1:10. He was parachuted at a height of 30624 meters, after which a successful landing was performed.
The company plans to conduct tests with a full -sized capsule in 2016, and the first commercial flight with passengers on board is already in 2017. The cost of a ticket for a flight to the stratosphere is 75 thousand dollars.
