Heineken Recruits Four Malaysians for Space Expedition

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 September 2013 – What’s the ultimate voyage for a legendary traveler? Taking on the final frontier of course! Leave Earth to the tourists, as Heineken preps you for space.

Earlier last month, 15 Malaysians won the Heineken ‘Legendary Traveler’ contest - the first installation of Heineken’s Voyage campaign. They will be rewarded with an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas where they and a friend will be whisked away on a voyage off the beaten path with Heineken. 

In the final installation of the global campaign, Heineken ups the ante by sending four Malaysians to space camp training at Space Expedition Corporation (SXC) in Amsterdam.

“Through our Voyage campaign, we want to further inspire people to be resourceful and open to the world. We are rewarding a select few of our drinkers to go beyond their borders by taking them on the ultimate voyage – an experience that truly allows them to journey to new frontiers,” said Ms. Jessie Chuah, Marketing Manager of Heineken Malaysia

To be fit for their space expedition, four of them will undergo SXC’s unique astronaut training missions, the same training sessions that real astronauts go through. 

In the G-centrifuge, they will experience the effects of elevated G-levels of up to 4G or experience weightlessness in the Zero-G or parabolic flights. The ultimate experience will be a stay in the Desdemona simulator, a first of its kind space simulator that is both full-motion and capable of generating all possible G-forces up to 3.3G.
