Space Adventures, the US company that offers space trips for the millionaires and billionaires, has confirmed that one of its clients will be Sergey Brin, the man who has co-founded Google along with his friend Larry Page.

Sergey Brin will fly to the ISS in 2011 and according to the Russian Space Agency the Google’ President of Technology will fly in a special designed Soyuz.

A trip in space is estimated at $30 - $40 million and so far only five people have been in space thanks to Space Adventures.

Sergey Brin, a native of Moscow, received a bachelor of science degree with honors in mathematics and computer science from the University of Maryland at College Park.

He is currently on leave from the Ph.D. program in computer science at Stanford University, where he received his master's degree.

It was at Stanford where Sergey Brin met Larry Page and worked on the project that became Google. Together they founded Google Inc. in 1998, and Brin continues to share responsibility for day-to-day operations with Larry Page and Eric Schmidt.

Last year, Google expressed its interest in space exploration by announcing the Google Lunar X Prize, which will be awarded to the first private company that will be able to land a privately funded robotic rover on the Moon.

The competition is scheduled to come an end on December 31, 2012.
