The flight lasted about 70 minutes, with the VSS Unity reaching an altitude of roughly 45,000 feet on a carrier aircraft; it then activated its hybrid propulsion system to rise to approximately 55 miles . This experiment uses a near-infrared spectroscopy device on his head to examine blood flow in the brain's prefrontal cortex and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.
In the Space Insulin Pen Test, a collaborative project between the Turkish Space Agency and Axiom Space, two different insulin pens will be used to assess dose delivery efficiency in this setting for the first time. Three other experiments, Message, Metabolom, and Miyeloid, will be repeated during Atasever's flight after they were conducted during an earlier trip to the International Space Station by Türkiye's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravci.
