When did the construction of the world's first space hotel begin?

Recently, the California-based startup orbital assembly corporation announced that it plans to start building the world's first space hotel in 2025. Located on the Voyager space station, the hotel will accommodate restaurants, cinemas, spas and rooms for 400 people. The space station will be put into use as early as 2027.

According to the announcement of orbit assembly on Twitter, it is estimated that the orbit of Voyager Space Station is 97 degrees and the height is 500-550 kilometers. This is a sun-synchronous polar orbit, which will reduce thermal stress, allow almost continuous solar power generation, and reduce the risk of orbital degradation and space debris.

Scientific and technological background of space hotel;

The concept of living in space was realized as early as 1973, when it was the skylab space station. Designers are always willing to design objects that cannot be realized on land in zero gravity space.

It is even more futuristic to mention the space hotel. According to the experimental progress of an American company called "Running to the Universe Club", the robot elevator can climb 305 meters. 15 years later, the space elevator with the surface extending into outer space and installed on the cable made of carbon nanotubes will be manufactured, and people can step into the space hotel one step at a time and abandon the spaceship transportation project that is still in technical difficulties.

No matter where you are in the vast space, the space hotel will always carry unspeakable secrets. Imagine from that piece of paper that it will take years to form a plan, and every step is scary.
