3 ways to get to the Stratosphere

What is a Stratosphere? The Stratosphere is the one of the lowest layers of Earth atmosphere which depth is 16-50 kilometers. Below Stratosphere there is the Troposphere (0-15 kilometers above Earth ground), above it there is the Mesosphere (50-95 kilometers above Earth). If one reaches altitude of 16-18 kilometers, one can see amazing landscapes of Earth, surrounded by curly clouds, Earth curvature, blazing Sun and deep impervious darkness of open space. It feels absolutely like a space, but it is still Earth. Intriguing isn’t it?

Have you ever wanted to get to a real Stratosphere? Well, there are three ways to get there:
  • By a stratospheric balloon, filled with helium
  • By a spaceship
  • By an air jet 
Stratospheric balloon (High altitude balloon) was invented in 1783 but is still used by weather forecasting services. But stratospheric balloons are not equipped for a human travelling, and on the height of 15 kilometers one will definitely freeze out – on such altitudes the temperature is minus 70 Celsius degrees.



Spaceship travelling could be a good option for those who are interested in Stratosphere flights. But you have to undergo a special cosmonaut or astronaut training which can take months. Also space tourism is way much more expensive then flights on air jets.

The third way to get to the Stratosphere is to book a MiG-29 “Edge of Space” flight. Russian jet Mig29 can easily climb up to an altitude of 18 kilometers. Its indoor cabin protects “Stratosphere tourist” from harm cold and Sun radiation, while its wide cockpit allows tourist to view all astonishing landscapes of Earth, its curvature and darkness of space.

The price of such a flight is much cheaper then a space journey and you don’t have to endure harsh training course for cosmonauts or astronauts! Everyone aged from 18 to 78 can enjoy “Edge of Space” Mig-29 flights. By the way it is the only way to experience a flight on a real jet fighter!

“Edge of Space” flight program is very popular among our tourists. So join them and book it now!
