Bahamian tourism officials say they expect the country to become a key player in the rapidly growing space tourism sector, as its first international rocket landing is set to take place on Tuesday, off the coast of The Exumas.
The global space tourism industry, SpaceX, said that its Falcon 9 rocket will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
About eight minutes after liftoff, Falcon 9's first stage will land on SpaceX's autonomous droneship, which will ensure environmental safety and protection.
In a statement issued by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the droneship will be stationed off the coast of The Exumas in the Atlantic Ocean.
