On 3 March 2021, The Gateway Foundation an American tech company hopes to deliver the first space hotel by 2027. The Gateway Foundation named it as ‘Voyager’ station is currently in its development stage. The goal of the company is to provide 400 rooms in the hotel and open business opportunities for the people. Global travelers can soon add this world’s first luxurious and advanced space hotel to their bucket list.
The hotel is in circular spinning shape which would allow the structure to artificially stimulate gravitational level similar to mars -40 percent of Earth’s own. This project is the first-ever to create a more livable experience in space where humans can experience the nature of space.
The Gateway Foundation was formed to build the first spaceport. Their plan includes developing a robust space construction industry, the first artificial gravity space station, and finally the Gateway. These are important first steps to colonizing space and other worlds – The Gateway Foundation will connect people from all over the world so that they can make this first step together.
Self-proclaimed as the world’s first large-scale construction company, orbital assembly says that the voyager station will feature more than 11,600 m2 (125,000 sf) of habitable space in modules and access tubes; 200m in overall diameter (ISS is 73m long and 109m wide); an estimated mass of 2,418 metric tons (ISS: 419 tons); and an estimation volume of 51,104 m3 (ISS pressurized volume: 915 m3).
With voyager station we don’t want to have to develop any new technologies, we want it to be technologies that are already in hand, it’s just that we are applying them in new ways to get a structure and a facility like that,’ said Tom Spilker, CTO of orbital assembly.
The company's future plans are to sell the stake in the space hotel to government stakeholders which can utilize it as a space training center or to the private stakeholders who can enjoy their vacation in space.
