This project was originally planned to be completed in 2025, but due to Covid-19, among other issues, the construction and inauguration date was postponed. However, the hotel is expected to be operational in 2027.
Hotel Features
It will be designed with special features; it will be able to generate different levels of artificial gravity as required by the degree of rotation. Also, the rooms will be equipped with the same facilities as those on land. Toilets, showers and sinks will operate with recycled water.
The hotel will have 24 modules, some for bars, restaurants and recreation areas; others for functional modules or private residences, which can be sold or rented by governments and scientific centers for research. Each module will be independent and will function as a small community.
What Will the Food Be Like?
It will have two restaurants offering high quality gastronomy. These conveniences are made possible with the help of artificial gravity. However, there are logistical problems to be solved. For example, smoke, cooking smells, since in space they will not be able to be thrown out, as is done on earth. Drinking water will be transported from the ground.
It is a project that still has many issues to resolve. However, it is possible to solve them to realize the first rotating hotel in space. Undoubtedly, in the future there will be more hotels and recreation centers in space, which will change the perceptions we know of reality.
