The company, heaquartered in Titusville, Florida, is currently developing Spaceship Neptune,[1] a pressurized gondola lofted by a SpaceBallon, a large hydrogen high-altitude balloon.
[3][4] Nevertheless, as World Views Enterprises' focus shifted from tourism to building uncrewed stratostats, Poynter and MacCallum spun off Space Perspective as a separate company.
[5] In 2021, the company flew an uncrewed test flight of their high altitude balloon, including a mass simulator of their pressurized gondola, Spaceship Neptune, and announced initial ticket prices of US$125,000.
[1] The gondola is lined with a thin transparent vacuum deposited UV-reflective coating, and features an array of fifteen 52 in (130 cm) windows.
[14] The gondola includes four reverse parachutes in case the balloon is unable to descend, and a device named the Splashcone designed to both soften the impact of the planned water landings as well as flood to provide ballast.
