Earth-to-space experiences
Dark-sky nights under Kilimanjaro, telescope evenings and zero-gravity flight days. The closest you can get to space without leaving the atmosphere, for now.

Six ways to get closer to space, from a night under the Milky Way to twenty seconds of floating. Every one of them is real and bookable, except the last.

The plane climbs steeply, then arcs over the top. For about twenty seconds you, the cabin and everything in it fall together. That is weightlessness.

Our story
How close can you get? Closer than you think.
Asterfield started with a telescope on a camp table in Amboseli and a simple question from a guest: how close can I actually get? This is our honest answer, and it keeps getting closer.
No. Our retreats are on the ground and our flights stay inside the atmosphere. They are the closest experiences to space that we can offer safely today. Orbital stays are a waitlist only.
The pilots fly a steep climb, then follow an arc over the top. For about twenty seconds the aircraft and everyone inside fall at the same rate, so you float. It is the same physics astronauts feel in orbit.
Most people aged 12 and over with everyday fitness. Under-18s fly with a parent. We ask everyone to complete a health questionnaire and to check with their doctor if they have heart conditions, are pregnant or have had recent surgery.
Some people do. We offer anti-nausea medicine at check-in, and the briefing covers how to keep your head still during the heavy pull-out phases, which helps a lot.
You get a few emails a year about new experiences and, one day, orbital stays. It is free, there is no deposit, and you can leave whenever you like.
Full refund up to 60 days before your date. After that you can move your booking once, free of charge.
