This document summarizes the design of an ideal user experience for commercial suborbital spaceflights. It analyzes the context and defines moments during the spaceflight experience to focus on. For the actual spaceflight moment, the document constructs a vision for an ideal experience where 6 participants can enjoy two activities within one cabin while feeling secure and immersed in the experience without distraction from procedures. Product concepts are designed to enable this ideal experience of enjoying different activities in zero-g during a smooth flow of events on the spaceflight.
