Space Hotel

"World’s First Space Hotel Will Have Artificial Gravity and Open in 2025

Yet another organization is making strides toward helping ordinary citizens spend time in outer space. The Gateway Foundation has announced plans to build the world’s first space hotel, with an aim to have 100 tourists per week by 2025. Named after controversial rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who was affiliated with the Nazi party early in his career and later went on to serve as director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the Von Braun Space Station will be assembled on-site by robots and drones.

Designer Tim Alatorre was inspired by concepts von Braun described in the 1950s. The space hotel will be shaped like an enormous wheel that spans a 623-foot diameter and slowly rotates to generate a gravitational force. Twenty-four pressurized pods dot the outer ring of the wheel. These interconnected modules will include private residences, as well as hotel rooms and separate quarters for the station’s crew working. Several modules will also be sold to governments that wish to use them as research centers."[MSM 1]

Planetary missions

After the Apollo program, missions to the different planets of our solar system have been claimed happened.[MSM 12][MSM 13][MSM 14][MSM 15]

Name Year launched Date launched Operators Description Primary targets Secondary targets Notes
Mariner 10 1973 11/03 NASA NASA set a strict limit of $98 million for Mariner 10's total cost, which marked the first time the agency subjected a mission to an inflexible budget constraint. No overruns would be tolerated. Mercury, Venus Earth, Moon [MSM 16]
Viking 1 1975 08/20 NASA Scientists found that the observed Shapiro delays of the signals matched the predictions of General Relativity. Mars [MSM 17]
Voyager 2 1977 08/20 NASA Voyager 2 is expected to keep transmitting weak radio messages until at least 2025, over 48 years after it was launched. Jupiter, Saturn Uranus, Neptune [MSM 18]
Pioneer 12 1978 05/28 NASA The most remarkable discovery was that the ratio of 36Ar/40Ar isotopes much higher than in the atmosphere which seems to indicate that the genesis of the Venusian atmosphere is very different from that of Earth. Venus [MSM 19]
Mars Global Surveyor 1996 11/07 NASA On 6 December 2006 NASA released photos of two craters in Terra Sirenum and Centauri Montes which appear to show the presence of flowing water on Mars at some point between 1999 and 2001. The pictures were produced by Mars Global Surveyor and are quite possibly the spacecraft's final contribution to our knowledge of Mars and the question of whether water exists on the planet. Mars [MSM 20]
Mars Pathfinder 1996 12/04 NASA The lander sent more than 2.3 billion bits of information including 16,500 pictures and made 8.5 million measurements of the atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind speed. Although the mission was planned to last from a week to a month, the rover operated successfully for almost three months. Mars [MSM 21]
Cassini 1997 10/15 NASA, ESA,
ASI (Italy)
Its mission ended on September 15, 2017, when Cassini's trajectory took it into Saturn's upper atmosphere and it burned up in order to prevent any risk of contaminating Saturn's moons, which might have offered habitable environments to stowaway terrestrial microbes on the spacecraft. Saturn, moons of Saturn Moon, Venus, Jupiter [MSM 22]
2001 Mars Odyssey 2001 04/07 NASA The mission was named as a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke, evoking the name of 2001: A Space Odyssey. By December 15, 2010, it broke the record for longest serving spacecraft at Mars, with 3,340 days of operation. Mars [MSM 23]
Mars Express/Beagle 2 2003 06/02 ESA The spacecraft's fate remained a mystery until it was announced in January 2015 that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, using HiRISE, had found the probe intact on the surface of Mars. Mars [MSM 24]
[MSM 25]
Spirit 2003 06/10 NASA The primary surface mission for Spirit was planned to last at least 90 sols. The mission received several extensions and lasted about 2,208 sols. On August 11, 2007, Spirit obtained the second longest operational duration on the surface of Mars for a lander or rover at 1282 Sols, one sol longer than the Viking 2 lander. Viking 2 was powered by a nuclear cell whereas Spirit is powered by solar arrays. Mars [MSM 26]
Opportunity rover 2003 07/07 NASA Opportunity remains active as of March 15, 2018, having exceeded its operating plan by 13 years, 323 days (in Earth time). Opportunity has continued to move, make scientific observations, and report back to Earth for over 55 times its designed lifespan. In December 2014, NASA reported that Opportunity was suffering from "amnesia" events in which the rover fails to write data, e.g. telemetry information, to non-volatile memory. The hardware failure is believed to be due to an age-related fault in one of the rover's seven memory banks. As a result, NASA had aimed to force the rover's software to ignore the failed memory bank, however amnesia events continued to occur which eventually resulted in vehicle resets. In light of this, on Sol 4027 (May 23, 2015), the rover was configured to operate in RAM-only mode, completely avoiding the use of non-volatile memory for storage. As of March 15, 2018, Opportunity is still functioning on the surface of Mars, and is slated for further scientific exploration. It is currently parked in its 8th Martian winter and should 'wake up' around the end of March 2018. Mars [MSM 27]
Rosetta 2004 03/02 ESA The Rosetta mission orbited Comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko for 17 months and was designed to complete the most detailed study of a comet ever attempted. Rosetta's Philae lander successfully made the first soft landing on a comet nucleus when it touched down on Comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko on 12 November 2014. The probe also flew in the shadow of Mars. During that encounter, the solar panels could not be used since the craft was in the planet's shadow, where it would not receive any solar light for 15 minutes, causing a dangerous shortage of power. The craft was therefore put into standby mode, with no possibility to communicate, flying on batteries that were originally not designed for this task. This Mars manoeuvre was therefore nicknamed "The Billion Euro Gamble". The flyby was successful, with Rosetta even returning detailed images of the surface and atmosphere of the planet, and the mission continued as planned. Comet Mars [3]
[MSM 28]
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 2005 08/12 NASA It has enough propellant to keep functioning into the 2030s. An article in the journal Science in September 2009, reported that some new craters on Mars have excavated relatively pure water ice. After being exposed, the ice gradually fades as it sublimates away. Mars [MSM 29]
New Horizons 2006 01/19 NASA Images from July 1 to 3, 2013 by LORRI were the first by the probe to resolve Pluto and Charon as separate objects. Pluto, Charon moons of Jupiter [MSM 30]
Juno 2011 08/05 NASA Juno carries a plaque to Jupiter, dedicated to Galileo Galilei. The spacecraft also carries three Lego minifigures representing Galileo, the Roman god Jupiter, and his sister and wife, the goddess Juno. Jupiter Earth [MSM 31]
Curiosity rover 2011 11/26 NASA In December 2012, Curiosity's two-year mission was extended indefinitely. On August 5, 2017, NASA celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Curiosity rover landing and related exploratory accomplishments on the planet Mars. Curiosity's design will serve as the basis for the planned Mars 2020 rover. As of March 15, 2018, Curiosity has been on Mars for 1993 sols (2047 total days) since landing on August 6, 2012.
