Flight International has taken its "next generation publishing"
promotional campaign to a brand new level by becoming the first
magazine in space.
Flight's logo was placed on the Genesis II spacecraft, which
launched on 28 June, to highlight Flight International's recent
rebranding.
Bigelow Aerospace, makers of the spacecraft, has placed 22 cameras
on-board that will capture photos and items from members of the public
as part of a pilot programme called 'Fly your Stuff'.
The programme offers individuals or businesses the chance to put
their logos, photos or other items into space, which are photographed
inside the spacecraft with the images sent back to Earth.
Murdo Morrison, the editor of Flight International said: "The
whole space tourism market is really taking off with several
businesses such as Virgin Galactic currently selling sub-orbital
flights in the next few years. Flight International was reporting on
the birth of powered aviation a century ago, and has charted over the
years all the world-changing developments from the jet engine to
supersonic flight to the Moon landings. It's really exciting to be
part of this latest giant leap in aerospace technology."
