The first-ever luxury space hotel has been announced. Introduced during the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California, the Aurora Station is named after the magical light phenomenon that illuminates the Earth’s polar skies. It is being developed by Texas-based Orion Span and the company’s team of space industry veterans, who have over 140 years of human space experience. The first fully modular space station to ever debut, Aurora Station will operate as the first luxury hotel in space. The exclusive hotel will host six people at a time – including two crew members. Space travelers will enjoy a completely authentic, once-in-a-lifetime astronaut experience with extraordinary adventure during their 12-day journey, starting at $9.5M per person. Deposits are now being accepted for a future stay on Aurora Station, which is slated to launch in late 2021 and host its first guests in 2022. The fully refundable deposit is $80,000 per person and can be reserved online here. “We developed Aurora Station to provide a turnkey destination in space. Upon launch, Aurora Station goes into service immediately, bringing travelers into space quicker and at a lower price point than ever seen before, while still providing an unforgettable experience,†said Frank Bunger, chief executive officer and founder of Orion Span. “Orion Span has additionally taken what was historically a 24-month training regimen to prepare travelers to visit a space station and streamlined it to three months, at a fraction of the cost. Our goal is to make space accessible to all, by continuing to drive greater value at lower cost.†During their stay on Aurora Station, travelers will enjoy the exhilaration of zero gravity and fly freely throughout Aurora Station, gaze at the northern and southern aurora through the many windows, soar over their hometowns, take part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit (which they can take home with them as the ultimate souvenir), revel First luxury space hotel open to guests in four years time

The first luxury hotel in space has been announced and it will be ready to receive guests in four years time; 2022 precisely.

Aurora Station is the name of the space luxury hotel promising  guests, literally out-of-this-world experience. It is being built by Texas-based Orion Span which has a team with over 140 years of human space exploration experience with NASA.

The luxury hotel will be manned by two crew members and will only be able to accommodate six guests for a period of 12 days.

Already deposits for the 12-day stay is being collected and it is a total of $9.5 million (#3.4bn) for each guest.

However, guests will not be able to stay there as you would at a regular hotel, as they will need to go through three months of intensive training first
