In spring 1993 the Japanese Rocket Society started a formal study program on space tourism. The objective of this research is to determine how to establish a successful commercial service offering short visits to low Earth orbit to fare-paying passengers. To date the services required have been studied; the "Kankoh-maru" passenger vehicle has been designed; and the necesssary propulsion and propellant supply systems have been analysed. Currently Kankoh-maru's development and manufacturing costs are being studied, as well as the facilities required at airports, the accommodation facilities required in orbit, and potential business development scenarios.
