The first luxury hotel in space to offer 384 sunrises and sunsets in 12 days to its guests

An, Astronauts life is nothing but typical work, exercise, rest, and repeat at a space station. But what if your chance of having the right stuff for NASA’s astronauts corps is, atleast the minimal?

Aurora Station, billed as the first luxury hotel in space may be for you. Houston based Orion Span Inc. hopes to launch the modular station sometime soon in late 2021 and welcome its firsts guests the following year, with two crew members accompanying each excursion. The platform would orbit 200 miles above Earth, offering six guests 384 sunrises and sunsets as they race around the planet for 12 days at incredibly high speeds.

We want to get people into space because it’s the final frontier for our civilisation, said Orion Spans founder and chief executive officer, frank Bunger, a former software engineer. We’re not selling a hey- let- go -to -the -beach equivalent in space, bunger said.

We’re selling the experience of being an astronaut.

Beyond the physical limitations to embarking, there are also embarking, there are also fiscal ones. The 12 day stay starts at $9.5 million per person or about $ 791,666 a night. Aurora Station is planned as a 35 by 14 foot module, or roughly the interior volume of gulf stream G 550 private jet, according to Bunger, the station would accommodate as many as four guests, plus the two crew. The company requires an $ 80,000 deposit, which is fully refundable, and began accepting payments on Thursday.

Prior to launch, Aurora station Station travellers would have three months of training, beginning with online courses to understand basic space flight, orbital mechanics and pressurised environments in space. Hotel guests will also have required excercises on space craft systems and contingency training at the company’s Houston’s facility.
