Aurora Space Station
Design concept for a commercial space station
The Aurora Space Station was a technology concept for a private commercial space station in low Earth orbit that was announced on 5 March 2018 by Orion Span, a startup aerospace company in California, United States funded by Pear Venture and Berkeley SkyDeck. The concept envisions a capacity of six people: two crew and four tourists.[1][2]
No launch contract has been signed for deployment of the modules nor crewed vehicles,[1][3] and its construction has not started,[3] but its representatives claimed it would be launched in 2021.[1] In March 2021[4] the website announced that they had shut down operations and refunded all deposits.[5]
