Orbital Assembly Corporation, which is behind the design, has released new visualizations of its spectacular project in recent days. She said the construction of a huge ring structure in Earth’s orbit could begin in 2025, and two years later it could be completed, writes the Independent server.

“From the beginning, it will be designed to welcome both national space agency staff and tourists who want to experience life on a large space station with the comfort of low gravity and a pleasant hotel environment,” the company explained.

The building should consist of two rings. The inner one is to serve as a station for docking space ships, the outer circuit will then offer living space and other critical infrastructure for the station. More precisely, it is supposed to be a series of interconnected modules that will have various uses: from commercial premises, through private villas to research centers.

The structure should be designed to offer different levels of artificial gravity, the intensity of which will depend on the speed of rotation of the ring. “Artificial or simulated gravity is essential for long stays in space,” say the project’s website.

Stay only for the movable
According to The Indian Express server, in addition to exclusive views of space, potential visitors can expect, for example, top restaurants, bars and even gyms. One of the modules is to serve as a large concert hall, where the biggest stars from Earth could perform.

“This will be another industrial revolution,” said John Blincow, founder of the Gateway Foundation, which formed the Orbital Assembly Corporation.

It should be noted that such a trip to the first space hotel will not be cheap. According to the server The Indian Express, it should cost up to 25 million dollars (in terms of over half a billion crowns).
