Roman Chiporukha has spent two decades orchestrating luxury lifestyle experiences for ultra-high-net-worth clients. His expertise led to a life-changing opportunity in 2018 when Axiom Space sought three citizen explorers for a private mission to the International Space Station. This realization—that the sky was no longer the limit, but the market—led him to launch Space VIP in 2021.

To become the "Expedia of the cosmos," Chiporukha fast-tracked his education on commercial spaceflight to help private citizens navigate the fragmented sector. He acts as a bridge between dreamers and operators like Blue Origin, SpaceX, and Virgin Galactic. Whether it is a zero-gravity flight or a stratospheric balloon voyage, he aligns client wants with strict aerospace parameters.

Beyond luxury, Chiporukha aims to make space mainstream by creating pathways for underrepresented groups. Through the Space Prize Foundation, he runs science competitions that offer zero-gravity flights and astronaut training, ensuring the future of space exploration is not reserved for a tiny group.
