Whatever the mission‚ be it manned or unmanned‚ for scientific research‚ applications or space transportation‚ a spacecraft must withstand the extreme stresses which occur during the launch phase‚ and once in orbit‚ the rigours of the space environment. There is one way of making sure of this: to test the spacecraft on Earth under conditions simulating‚ as closely as possible‚ those it will meet during the launch and its orbital life.

While it took only forty years to vulgarize airline transport‚ it has taken almost a century to make possible passenger spaceflight (Webber‚ 2013). But what is space tourism? According to Strickland (2012) a lot of literature is based tourism on earth but very limited on space tourism which he defines space tourism as a term used when an individual buy a ticket to allow him/her
