Orbital Assembly to open first space hotel in 2027 for long-term stays

California-based Orbital Assembly has announced it will begin building the first-ever space hotel in 2025, which is expected to welcome its first guests in 2027. The company’s Voyager Station is a rotating space station that will produce artificial gravity by increasing and decreasing its rate of rotation. Gravity is essential for comfortable long-term habitation in space, and so the project has overcome this barrier by producing its own simulated gravity. As well as space tourists, the hotel is designed to welcome national space agencies conducting low-gravity research. More
