Case study: Booking trip to space
This was a design challenge. The exercise took me roughly 2 days to finish, including the documentation of this case study.
Problem Statement:
The user wants to book a seat/s for the trip to space. They can book 1–5 seats, It will be a 2–7 days trip and the spaceship will takeoff from 7 different locations on the planet. Spacetrip will be an end-to-end booking system.
Task:
Create an app to solve the same problem. You are free to choose to make Android or iOS (Maximum 3 Screens).
Disclaimer:
We are not planning to make it in near future. This task is just a challenge.
Research:
It’s already predicted that space travel would be open for everybody. It takes 3 days to reach the moon with today’s technology. So, let’s assume we will be having far superior technology in future that we can travel to the moon in 6 hours.
“We are at the vanguard of a new industry determined to pioneer twenty-first century spacecraft, which will open space to everybody — and change the world for good.”
– Sir Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Galactic
Some assumptions are based on the book “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” by Chris Hadfield.
- Health is the most important factor.
- Gravity issues
- Food (Astronauts eat different food)
From these basic assumptions, I have created a typical user persona ( I relate with her 😉).
Brainstorming:
Before thinking of any solutions I had some questions in mind.

It’d really make my day if you can share some feedback on my article, Thanks a million :)
