Space Economy - Orbital Concept Luxury Hotel in Space
FUTURE FICTION VISIONEERING® | SCALING UP TO ENGINEER IN SPACE
Space Development Corporation is an American aerospace company that has announced several widely publicized plans to build various space stations. The initial space station aims to be the first commercial space hotel.

The world's first space hotel, Voyager Station, is planned to open in 2027. It is being developed by Orbital Assembly Corporation and will be a rotating space station designed to simulate gravity, accommodating up to 400 guests and 112 crew members. The station will feature amenities like restaurants, a health spa, gyms, and themed restaurants, offering a luxurious experience in space. Space Development Corporation is creating a future fleet of commercial platforms scaling to planned space stations deployed on orbit, in cislunar space, and throughout the solar system — enabling humanity to live, work, play, and profit in space. How? First, by drawing upon six decades of humankind’s knowledge and experience in space flight, as well as the commercial off-the-shelf components developed in those efforts. Second, by assembling a core team with a proven heritage of multiple space flight achievements — a collective 150 years of missions, designs, science, and entrepreneurial spirit. And third, when necessary, or economically advantageous, by developing our own proprietary applications technologies.
“The more we imagine the future possibilities of the space economy, the more opportunities we uncover. Space tourism is now a reality, with the billionaire space race proving that the private sector can achieve what was once the sole domain of governments. Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic have truly envisioned the impossible.”
Nicolas De Santis, founder, Megavisionary Enterprise Centre
