The winners of our space competition will be flying 103km
up to space with space tourism company SpaceXC.
The Lynx space ship departs like a plane from the extended runway at the space airport
accelerating at an incredibly fast rate as you asend speeding towards space.
At T+ 60 seconds you will break the sound barrier.
Once at an altitude of nearly 60km, parabolic flight begins.
during which you will experience a period of weightlessness.
Then on the way back down high levels of G force for around ten to twenty seconds
as you rapidly pick-up speed.
The flight will end with the Lynx gliding back towards earth
during which time you get to enjoy the view
before landing at the space port
just like a space shuttle
