Hilton, the clear leader in the hospitality industry, is set to design astronaut facilities for the private space station, Starlab, that is in development through a joint venture between Voyager Space and Lockheed Martin. This is according to what was reported by CNBC.
Not only will they design the hospitality suites and sleeping arrangements, Hilton will work with Voyager to examine marketing opportunities of the onboard experiences of the space station and astronauts… Space Hotels?
According to the CNBC article, Voyager is not only eyeing the potential for space tourism, but the “strong market opportunities for Starlab in science and research services, as well as human spaceflight.”
Voyager expects to begin manufacturing the first Starlab module in the third quarter of 2023, with the space station being in orbit and operational in 2027.
