[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] Four final passengers have been selected to embark on the first-ever private space trip aboard SpaceX's private crewed spacecraft, 'Crew Dragon,' this September. The crew, composed of people from various professions including a billionaire, a scientist, an aerospace company employee, and medical staff, will undertake a space journey staying in Earth's orbit for two days.

According to Axios on the 30th (local time), SpaceX's private space travel project 'Inspiration4' announced the list of four final passengers for the first-ever private space trip scheduled for this September. The first passenger is Jared Isaacman, an American billionaire leading this project. Last month on the 1st, he purchased four Crew Dragon seats, formed the Inspiration4 project, and held a lottery event to select the remaining three passengers.

Through this lottery, three individuals were selected: Earth scientist Sian Proctor, pediatric cancer survivor and internal medicine hospital staff Haley Arsenault, and Lockheed Martin employee Chris Sembroski. This is the first time a team composed solely of private citizens, without professional astronaut training, will undertake a spaceflight.

These four private citizens will board the Crew Dragon this September and embark on a space journey staying in low Earth orbit for 2 to 4 days. If this mission succeeds, it is expected to activate the private space travel industry.
