A trip on a private jet never looked so dull. For the traveler who has already touched down on all the continents, the next frontier just got a little closer. This week, Virgin Galactic hosted a ceremony unveiling designs for a space plane to be used by Richard Branson’s space travel company.

The craft, dubbed SpaceShipTwo, was announced in New York on Wednesday, and will blast off into suborbital space from beneath a high altitude, four engined, twin fuselage mother-ship known as WhiteKnightTwo. The spaceship and its launch vehicle were designed by Burt Rutan and his firm, Scaled Composites. Rutan gained fame when his last spacecraft, SpaceshipOne, successfully carried a pilot to space and back in 2004, winning the $10 million Ansari X prize, which is awarded for entrepreneurial breakthroughs in space travel.

SpaceShipTwo will be the cornerstone of Virgin Galactic, the interplanetary wing of Branson’s empire. If all goes as planned, Virgin Galactic will open space tourism to the masses—well at least those willing and able to dole out $200,000 for a ticket. That price is likely to drop as Virgin Galactic’s operations expand. Long term plans call for up to 40 spaceships in the Virgin Galactic fleet, with each capable of two flights per day.

So what can passengers aboard a Virgin Galactic flight expect? The entire trip, including time spent strapped beneath the hull of WhiteKnightTwo, lasts about two hours. When the ship reaches sub-orbital space, passengers will experience four and a half minutes of weightlessness, during which they will be able to float freely about the the spacious cabin and gaze at the cosmos through the craft’s large portholes.

Passengers will experience up to six g’s of pressure as the craft rockets through the upper atmosphere. As a result, passengers will be required to wear pressure suits as a safety precaution. Flights will take off from New Mexico’s Spaceport America. Eventually, Virgin Galactic will operate flights out of northern Sweden to afford passengers a look at the Northern Lights.
