Maybach To Provide Electric Vehicles To Tourists During Their Travel To And From The Edge Of Space
Maybach partners with Space Perspective, to provide electric vehicles to tourists during their travel to and from the edge of space.
Space Perspective’s spacecraft comprises a pressurized capsule propelled safely to 100,000 feet by a giant SpaceBalloon.
Tourists will enjoy views of planet Earth, a world-class meal, Wi-Fi, and lavatory – all from the comforts of Maybach-inspired Space Lounge.
Mercedes-Benz ultra-luxury brand, the Mercedes-Maybach, is partnering with Space Perspective, the world’s first and only carbon-neutral spaceflight experience company founded in 2019.
Thanks to this partnership, Mercedes-Maybach will provide all-electric Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV to shuttle explorers and guests to and from Space Perspective facilities and the launch site on Florida’s Space Coast.
“Our partnership with Space Perspective allows space explorers to ride in style on the ground, and for us to extend the highest level of Maybach refinement and brand experience to the edge of space.”
Daniel Lescow, Head of Mercedes-Maybach at Mercedes-Benz Group AG
“Pairing our all-electric Spaceship Neptune with the all-electric Mercedes-Maybach represents a sustainable and inspiration-filled future, not to mention a heightened overall experience for Space Perspective Explorers.” Jane Poynter, Founder and Co-CEO of Space Perspective.
“This partnership accelerates innovation and broadens market exposure for both companies’ respective positions of strength in electric automotive and space travel.” Taber MacCallum, Founder and Co-CEO of Space Perspective.
Unlike jet-powered spacecrafts, Space Perspective’s Spaceship Neptune comprises a pressurized capsule that is propelled slowly and safely to 100,000 feet by a giant SpaceBalloon. The eco-friendly spacecraft offers a safe and transformative six-hour journey to the edge of space.
Those who fly with Space Perspective will enjoy unprecedented views of planet Earth, a world-class meal and cocktail service, Wi-Fi, and lavatory – all from the comforts of the world’s first Mercedes-Maybach-inspired Space Lounge.
Reservations are now being taken as Space Perspective aims to begin commercial flights for their more than 1,650 ticketed Explorers at the end of 2024, date. Willing explorers can get a spot at $125,000 – which is about the same price as a well-equipped Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.
