Starlab: Hilton to design space station rooms  

The future is near

Who better to design a room with limited spaces in space than a hotel chain? Voyager and Lockheed Martin probably thought so and partnered with Hilton to develop rooms for the Starlab space station. Together they will explore marketing practices to make Starlab the first space hotel.

As part of the upcoming retirement of the International Space Station at the end of the decade, NASA has awarded contracts to four private companies to build private space stations. These are Voyager, Axion Space, Blue Origin and Northop Grumman. The largest contract has been awarded to Voyager and amounts to $160 million.

Voyager’s goal is to have Starlab in orbit and operational by 2027.
