Inside the space hotel scheduled to open in 2025

太空旅馆计划于2025年开业

Waking up in a chic hotel room with a view of the solar system could be the future of travel, at least if space company Orbital Assembly has anything to say about it. The US-based company has revealed new information and concepts for its space hotel idea, designs for which have been orbiting since 2019. Originally premiered by Californian company the Gateway Foundation — and then called the Von Braun Station — this futuristic concept consists of several modules connected by elevator shafts that make up a rotating wheel orbiting the Earth.

在别致的酒店房间里醒来，看到太阳系的景色可能是未来旅行的方向，至少太空公司轨道装配对此有话要说。这家位于美国的公司透露了自己关于太空酒店想法的新信息和概念，该设计自2019年以来一直在轨道上运行。这个未来主义的概念最初由加利福尼亚的门户基金会首次推出——该基金会后来被称为冯·布劳恩站——这个概念由几个模块组成，这些模块由电梯井连接，组成一个绕地球旋转的轮子。

The project is now being overseen by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a space construction company that cut links with Gateway. Orbital Assembly is now aiming to launch not one but two space stations with tourist accommodation: Voyager Station, the renamed original design, is now scheduled to accommodate 400 people and to open in 2027, while new concept Pioneer Station, housing 28 people, could be operational in just three years. The goal, says Orbital Assembly, is to run a space "business park" home to offices as well as tourists.

该项目现在由轨道装配公司监督，这家太空建筑公司切断了与门户基金会的联系。轨道装配公司现在的目标是发射两个空间站，而不是一个：旅行者空间站，更名后的最初设计，现在计划容纳400人，并于2027年开放，而新概念的先锋空间站，可容纳28人，可能在短短三年内投入使用。轨道组装公司表示，其目标是运营一个太空“商业园区”，该园区的目标客户既是办公人员，也是游客。
