Trzech Włochów na pokładzie: oficerowie sił powietrznych Walter Villadei i Angelo Pandolfi, a także Pantaleone Carlucci z Narodowej Rady ds. Badań we Włoszech; wraz z nimi będzie dwóch pilotów oraz Colin Bennet, instruktor Virgin Galactic i weteran lotów suborbitalnych organizowanych przez firmę. Podczas 90-minutowego lotu załoga musi przeprowadzić 13 nadzorowanych i autonomicznych eksperymentów oraz zebrać dane na temat skafandrów i czujników kabinowych. Eksperymenty obejmują pomiar poziomów promieniowania w mezosferze oraz mieszanie się niektórych cieczy i ciał stałych w warunkach mikrograwitacji.
