Virgin Galactic made a deal with NASA to fly private astronauts to the International Space Station, it said Monday. Under the contract, the commercial space flight company will find would-be spacefarers, train them and sort out transport to the ISS.

“We are excited to partner with NASA on this private orbital spaceflight program, which will not only allow us to use our spaceflight platform, but also offer our space training infrastructure to NASA and other agencies,” Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides said in a release.

This story will be updated shortly.
