MOON SHUTTLE OPERATIONS


Before the Moon Ship embarks on its circumlunar mission, the Moon Shuttle will be on its way into lunar orbit. The whole trip there and back will take seven days.

The passengers will get to enjoy a total of 10 Earthrises since it will orbit the Moon 10 times.

For passengers going out, crew or tourists, they will have lunch, climb into their spacecraft, and blast off for the Moon.

The following timeline (Table 1) is for the passenger version of the shuttle:
