Project Orion Span plans to launch the Aurora space station, which will be used as a luxury hotel. A vacation in a space hotel cabin will be available to anyone who has $9.5 million or its equivalent in cryptocurrency.

“Do you want to wake up in zero gravity and see a blue globe of the earth from the window?” 

This is probably how advertising brochures will begin in the future, which the Orion Span project is creating today. A Californian company is preparing to launch a luxury space hotel into Earth orbit as early as 2022. The Aurora space station has opened reservations for a 12-night space tour. 

You can reserve your stay in a space suite for $80,000, and the total cost of the exotic getaway is $9.5 million, or more than $32,000 per hour. At the same time, the company announced the acceptance of cryptocurrency as payment for the tour. Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC) are suitable currencies for purchasing space travel. 

The project itself was launched in April of this year and the company has already received twenty-six reservation requests from potential space tourists. The 12-day tour is designed for four passengers and two crew members. 

The modular architecture of the station will allow it to be expanded as needed. The primary module will be 13.3 meters long and 4.3 meters wide with a volume of 160 cubic meters. m.

In addition to commercial and charter flights, the station is expected to conduct space research and experiments.

Orion Span plans provide that the autonomous space station will be built and sent into low-Earth orbit in 2021, and 12-day flights will become available in 2022.
