   California Startup Aims to Build Space H   
   28 Apr 22 23:03:52   
   
   "Orbital Assembly Corporation announced plans to develop a space    
   business park, complete with artificial gravity, that’s designed to    
   accommodate 28 guests in five modules built around a rotating    
   gravity ring.   
      
   The California startup is aiming to make its first Pioneer-class    
   space station operational by 2025, in what is an ambitious and    
   likely unrealistic timeline. That said, Orbital Assembly is intent on    
   making this the first commercial, hybrid space station that can be    
   leveraged for both research and leisure.   
      
   The Pioneer station is one of two designs for commercial space    
   stations currently being developed by the company, the first    
   being the Voyager Station announced back in 2021. However,    
   Pioneer is meant to precede Voyager, a larger undertaking that will    
   be built with the aim of it being a sort of luxury space hotel    
   capable of accommodating 400 guests at a time."
