The World's First Space Hotel Confirmed To Open in 2025

The Orbital Assembly Corporation announced earlier this week that the Voyager Station, a luxury space hotel, will now be opening in 2025.

Last year, the company shared that the hotel would be operational by 2027. Now ahead of schedule, the project will feature two stations -- the Pioneer Station with a capacity of 28 people, and the Voyager Station, which can accommodate 400 people. According to CNN, the Orbital Assembly Corp. aims to create a "space 'business park' home to offices as well as tourists." “The goal has always been to make it possible for large amounts of people to live, work and thrive in space," the company’s chief operating officer Tim Alatorre told CNN Travel. 

Alatorre added that the Pioneer station will feature artificial gravity, allowing guests to explore the small vicinity with ease. “For the average person, being in space will be a sci-fi dream experience…Our vision is to make space a destination people will yearn to visit, with familiar elements provided by the presence of gravity," he said.
