The world's first luxury space hotel,Aurora Station,was announced Thursday at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose,California.Developed by US-based space technology start-up Orion Span,the space station will host six people at a time,including two crew members,for 12-day trips of space travel.It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.
“Our goal is to make space accessible to all,"Frank Bunger,CEO and founder of Orion Span,said in a statement."Upon launch,Aurora Station goes into service immediately,bringing travelers into space quickly and at a lower price point than ever seen before."
While a$10 million trip is outside the budget of most people's two-week vacations,Orion Span claims to offer an authentic astronaut experience."It has taken what was historically a 24-month training to prepare travelers to visit a space station and streamlined(精简)it to three months,at a fraction(小部分)of the cost,"says Bunger.During their 12-day adventure,the super-rich travelers will fly at a height of 200 miles above the Earth's surface in Low Earth Orbit,where they will witness incredible views of the blue planet.The hotel will orbit Earth every 90 minutes,which means guests will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
Activities on board include taking part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit,which guests can take home for a super-smug souvenir,and soaring over their hometown.Guests can have-live-video chats with their less-fortunate loved ones back home via high-speed wireless Internet access and,upon(return to Earth will be greeted with a specially arranged hero's welcome.While enjoying the thrills of zero gravity,the travelers will be able to float freely through the hotel,taking in views of the northern and southern aurora from the station's windows.
