Jeff Bezos-owned space company Blue Origin on Monday announced its plan for a private space station called the Orbital Reef. The company is said to build the space station in partnership with multiple space companies and aims to deploy between 2025 and 2030. Blue Origin describes the Orbital Reef station which would inhabit up to 10 people, as a mixed-use business park in space that would have the capability to give exotic hospitality for space tourists. The company plans to use its New Glenn rocket to launch the Orbital Reef and will provide the space station’s utility systems and core modules. "For over sixty years, NASA and other space agencies have developed orbital space flight and space habitation, setting us up for commercial business to take off in this decade," news agency AFP quoted Blue Origin executive Brent Sherwood. "We will expand access, lower the cost, and provide all the services and amenities needed to normalise space flight."
