It happens that the US space agency takes more and more concrete actions to privatize part of its space laboratory and a similar idea is found in the plans of the Russian agency. The arrival of civilian staff to the research modules is imminent.
The search for new partners is a consequence of the lack of interest in this project of collaboration within the Donald Trump government. The President of the United States had already warned several months ago that he did not want to continue to fund the orbital laboratory in which NASA and the space agencies of Russia, Japan, Europe, and Japan are working. Canada.
Far from being a veiled threat NASA, Jim Bridenstine, has confirmed to the Washington Post that she is in talks with several companies to form an international consortium that will eventually resume operating from the ISS and manage it as a commercial venture in the space. 19659004] The rich plan to leave this wretched planet "src =" https://images.clarin.com/collections/static/lazy_square.svg "data-big =" https://images.clarin.com/2018/06 /10/Hki_hcTe7_290x290__1.jpg "data-small =" https://images.clarin.com/2018/06/10/Hki_hcTe7_110x110__1.jpg "observe =" "data-observer-function =" loadLazyImg "/>

The first privately held company to enter into a commercial agreement with NASA is Axiom Space, including Managing Director Michael Suffredini, until recently was the program director of the ISS.This Houston-based company is already organizing to space expeditions that will begin in two years

But to take advantage of this 10-day experience, the interested party has to pay a whopping $ 55 million.
"It's an honor to continue the work that NASA and its partners have begun to make known the profound benefits of exploration." Suffredini
But the bet is even bigger. develops its own resort – mix of boutique hotel, space space for adults and NASA degree research – whose module will be linked to the IEE For interior decoration, the elected was the French industrial artist Philippe Starck, one of the precursors of emotional design.The intention is to be ready in 2022.
Meanwhile, the Space and Energy Rockets Corporation (RKK ), which manufactures ships and components for space stations, has revealed its intention to modify the Russian module to make it a five-star hotel.The investment for this project would reach 446 million dollars and would take 5 to 8 years. "Our modules are between 20 and 25 years old and have exhausted their resources. They become less effective at experimenting and working. Why not turn them into a hotel for space tourism? ", Said Vladimir Solntsev, director of RKK
to fund two new laboratories (NMS 1 and 2) Roscosmos, the Russian space agency has the intention to sell two-week organized tours in orbit including private rooms with bathroom, gymnasium, private medical service and guided tours by an astronaut. The biweekly cost, all expenses included, will be in the order of $ 40 million per person in this case. For an additional 20 million, the traveler will have the option of an outing in the space in the company of a professional cosmonaut.
This 20-ton space hotel could have up to four areas of about two cubic meters each. The rooms will have a porthole of 228 mm in diameter and the living room will have a window of 426 mm.
