Abstract
"Space Tourism" denotes any commercial activity that offers customers direct or indirect experience with space travel. Such activities have many different designs, ranging from long-term stays in orbital facilities to short-term orbital or suborbital flights, and even parabolic flights in an aircraft exposing passengers to short periods of weightlessness. Flights into outer space by private individuals are finding increased attention in the public. While there are not yet chartered flights, occasional orbital flights with "space tourists" have taken place. So far, seven "space tourists" have been taken to the International Space Station ("ISS"), all of whom were charged large sums of money for the experience. In this paper an attempt has been made by me to give the well understandable definition of Space Tourism. The concept of space and space station is also touched in a very well in a very well detail in this paper and also the details of first space station is given in this paper.
