Sarah Brightman to go to ISS
Posted: Thu, Oct 11, 2012, 8:24 AM ET (1224 GMT)
Brightman, Sarah (sarahbrightman.com) Singer Sarah Brightman will travel to the International Space Station as a space tourist, she and Space Adventures announced on Wednesday. Brightman will take a 10-day trip to the ISS at an unspecified future date, most likely 2015, when seats will be available on Soyuz spacecraft traveling to and from the station. Brightman has partnered with UNESCO to support its mission to "promote peace and sustainable development"; those activities are expected to include a singing performance of some kind while on the station. Brightman undertook and passed a battery of tests in July to confirm that she is medically qualified to fly to the station. Neither Space Adventures nor the Russian space agency disclosed the price of her flight to the station beyond "tens of millions" of dollars.
