Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs and academic databases confirm that while Athanasius Kircher's 'Iter Exstaticum Coeleste' is a significant work in the history of science, no complete English translation has been published. Existing English-language references to the work are limited to excerpts, summaries, or discussions within broader scholarly studies of Kircher's life and work, such as those by Joscelyn Godwin. Therefore, this would be the first complete English translation.
