This Is Orbital Assembly Corporation’s Voyager Station Space Hotel Set To Be Launched In 2027. The idea of space travel not being only for astronauts is slowly becoming an idea that could turn to reality. This is because there many companies these days that are venturing into space travel not only for research purposes but to also explore and for leisure. Travelling to space will not be just a thing that people see or experience when they are watching movies as these companies plan on making humans interplanetary species.
One such company is Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC) as it plans on having a luxury space hotel that will be travelling through Earth’s low orbit. It plans on taking civilians and making them experience staying in a luxury hotel that is travelling through space by 2027.
The one-of-its-kind luxury hotel named Voyager Station will be able to accommodate 400 people and will offer unprecedented views of our planet for tourists and researchers. Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC), the company behind the ambitious project, recently unveiled new details about the resort, and the images and videos have created a huge buzz online.
From the first look, the hotel — which is projected to be the first commercial space station operating with artificial gravity — resembles a giant wheel rotating outside the planet. “Voyager Station is a rotating space station designed to produce varying levels of artificial gravity by increasing or decreasing the rate of rotation. Artificial, or simulated, gravity is essential to long term habitation in space,” the official website explains.
According to the hotel’s website, this has been designed to merge business with pleasure as it will not only accommodate national space agencies conducting low gravity research but also space tourists who want to experience life on space station “with the comfort of low gravity and the feel of a luxury hotel. However, it stresses that only a selected few can have this lifetime experience, as a trip to space cost up to $25 million”.
From high-end restaurants and bars to gyms and activity centers, the station is supposed to have it all. In fact, the Gymnasium and Activity (GA) module “will transform into a concert venue where the biggest musicians on Earth will rock the station as it circles the planet”, it said on its website.
