Spaceflight participant lang ru , uchastnik kosmicheskogo polyota is the term used by NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency RKA for people who travel aboard space missions coordinated by those agencies who are not part of the crew. The term serves to distinguish tourists and other special travelers from the career astronaut s. While the term gained new prominence with the rise of space tourism , it has also been used for participants in NASA s Teacher in Space program and for people who flew through inter government agreements such as the Angkasawan program and the Korean Astronaut Program . Other terms used for space travelers who are not career astronauts include NASA s Payload Specialist and the RKA s Researcher Cosmonaut. Background See also Astronaut ranks and positions The Soviet Intercosmos program included participants selected from Warsaw Pact members and later from allies of the USSR and Non Aligned Movement non aligned countries. Most of these people received full training for their missions and were treated as equals, but especially after the Mir program began, were generally given shorter flights than Soviet cosmonauts.

Current achievements in interplanetary travel Remotely guided space probe s have flown by all of the planets of the Solar System from Mercury to Neptune, with the New Horizons probe currently en route to fly by the dwarf planet Pluto and the Dawn spacecraft Dawn spacecraft en route to the dwarf planet Ceres dwarf planet Ceres .
