Die Astronautin
Die Astronautin is a private German human spaceflight program with the goal of sending the first German woman into space by 2023 via a short-duration flight to the International Space Station. The program was launched by a German private initiative in March 2016, when it sent out a call for German women to apply for a mission to the ISS. The flight will be mainly funded by donors and voluntary financial aid and so far has not received any funding from the German government.
