The Ansari family is keeping its hands in the suborbital commercial space market. The same family that sponsored the Ansari X-Prize has announced a joint venture with Roscosmos and Space Adventures to manufacture a fleet of five-person vehicles to be used for providing suborbital flights. The new venture would not fly the Explorer vehicles themselves, but would sell them to space tourism companies, which would operate the vehicles from various locations around the globe.
