Abstract

Space travel by commercial spacecraft companies is scheduled to begin in 2021. With the development of reusable spacecraft and rocket boosters, the cost of flight per weight is expected to become cheaper in the future. 
  
　

As the aforementioned development progresses, competition among spacecraft companies will occur. As the development costs are recovered, the per capita cost of space travel will also decrease, and the market is expected to expand. 
Goldman Sachs predicts that the space business market will grow to 1 trillion dollars during the 2040s, Morgan  Stanley predicts 1.1trillion dollars in the same period, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch predicts 2.7 trillion dollars by 2045. 
  

Space travel is expected to grow from the initially planned ballistic flights, which provide a short space experience, to transit through space and travel on Earth, and to operate between the moon and planets. 
  

We are a company that trains space flight attendants to accompany passengers on space trips and provide support and various services. We believe that we can play an active role in a wide range of activities as passengers' needs for space travel diversify. 
  

In this paper, we will discuss the roles required of space flight attendants and their future prospects according to the type of spacecraft and the type of space travel.
