Recognizing your spaceflight
All those who fly will be recognized as commercial astronauts by the Association of Space Explorers with a specially commissioned insignia. Since 1985, the organization counts over 400 astronauts from 27 different countries as members. The insignia is awarded with your unique Virgin Galactic astronaut wings, post-flight.
