GS SPACERESORT

GALACTIC SUITE SPACE RESORT is the first space hotel. A mini space station in low earth orbit (LEO) for private passengers, conceived as a non-permanently occupied shelter for tourists and crew. The hotel will be located at an altitude of 450 kilometres, where it is still under the protection from the radiation provided by the Van Allen Belts, and permits faster access and return to the Earth. The tourists will be accommodated in the hotel for between 4 and 6 days, orbiting the planet once every 90 minutes, and therefore enjoying 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. The objectives of these mini stations include short-term tourism (around 1 week), private research into microgravity and the development of a communications and remote observation platform.

GS SEASUITE

GS SEASUITE it is the development of a hotel under the sea, at a depth of around 50 metres. It is conceived as a permanently occupied facility comprising 9 semi-spherical modules, with a bioinspired design, including 1 lobby module and a common space, 4 suite-modules, 1 restaurant-cocktail bar module, 1 wellness-spa module, 1 sealable module providing access to seabed and 1 installation module. It will have a total surface area of 2000 m2. They will be permanently connected, by means of a tunnel and a service of electric cars, with the surface, from where they will also receive their supply of energy and oxygen. The modules will have artificial atmosphere and thermal control systems. They will be built as aluminium structures with large multilayered windows and will be conveyed to the site and installed there by means of crane ships and pocket submarines.

GS ISLAND

GS ISLAND it is the development of a high-profile tourist facility on a private island in the Tropics where Galactic Suite will accommodate and train its space tourists. The stay in the GS Spaceresort, the space hotel, requires a prior training period of 16 weeks and a subsequent flight recovery period of 2 weeks. During these periods, space tourists may stay on the GS Island with their family, if they wish. GS Island comprises a luxury hotel resort and a recreational centre surrounded by lush nature. A large part of the island will be left intact to conserve all its original fauna and flora. In the Accommodation area, tourists will have a total of 200 rooms divided into different types of floating suites on the coast, or suspended from the nearby cliffs. The main building will have a conference centre, restaurants and cafes, a spa and an area for sports such as golf, tennis and canoeing. The area will have a built-up surface area of 40,000 m2

GS AIRSHIPORT

GS AIRSHIPORT is a tall structure that raises 150m over the ground to provide a mooring mast for the GS Dirigibles and tourism facilities such as a high altitude restaurant or a visitors centre. The tower is conceived as a vertical mast structure with a canopy that will turn around the mast to protect the dirigibles as a parapet when docking. Both the tower and the airships, are intimally related: the tower houses the airships and, they are linked with that place through flying plans, views, wind directions and intensities that hit the tower… the structure is made of invisible relations between those items and the surrounding environment. The structure will become a symbol of the modernity of the emirate of Dubai, and will be appreciated by the millions of tourists visiting the region every year. The three airships housed in its interior will travel around the city, providing tourist tours for the visitors.

GS SPACEPORT

GS SPACEPORT It is the development of private spaceports everywhere with space-related theme facilities. Parallel to the development of space tourism and vehicles that can operate from installations that reduce the degree of complexity of maintenance and preparation of the current rockets and shuttles, Galactic Suite will establish a new generation of private spaceports around the world.

GS HIMALAYAS

GS HIMALAYAS it is the development of a hotel on the summit of the Himalayas mountain range. It is conceived as a non-permanently occupied shelter that will consist of 8 bio inspired spherical modules, including 1 access module, 3 suite modules, 1 common space-restaurant module, 1 wellness-spa module, 1 service module and another installation and energy generation module. The first site selected is the south side of Mount Changtse at an altitude of 7,500 metres, in the Chinese part of the Himalayas, which permits access by air and land for guests and goods. The temperatures can drop to 60º degrees below zero and atmospheric pressure is equivalent to one-third the standard sea level.

GS DIRIGIBLE

GS DIRIGIBLE it is the development of an inflatable aircraft, with capacity for initially 2 passengers and one crewmember to a flight altitude of 8 km, in the area called the stratosphere, where the passengers can enjoy a flight unaffected by the Earth's topographic features. The dirigibles will provide overnight accommodation, and their inside has been designed like a hotel suite. They will be based in Dubai (UAE), where the aircraft will be anchored to a tower that will provide full hotel services: lobbies, restaurants, convention rooms, wellness and spa. Each dirigible-room can take off from there for journeys lasting a few days. The craft was conceived as a semi -rigid dirigible with a periscopic internal structure that renders it possible to expand the volume of helium of the inside to reach the necessary altitude of up to 8,000 metres. The electrical motors are driven by photovoltaic energy with an external flexible capturing coating.

GS NEARSPACE

GS NEARSPACE it will consist of the development of a reusable inflatable aircraft to initially accommodate 6 passengers and one crewmember to a flight altitude of 40 km, in the so-called “near-space” area, where passengers will be able to observe deep space and a considerable curvature of the horizon, although they will be unable to float in microgravity. The flights will be made in pressurised capsules with systems for the generation of artificial atmosphere, thermal control and solar capture to generate electricity. The balloons will operate from a land base, which will consist of an embedded architectural structure with full hotel services (lobby, restaurants, rooms, convention centre, spa and wellness), from which the balloons will take off daily for near space. The main objective will be short-stay tourism, from a few hours to 1 or 2 days, and remote observation and telecommunications.

GS SPACESHIP

GS SPACESHIP it is the development of the interior design for a manned reusable launch vehicle (RLV) and for transport with an initial capacity for 4 passengers and 2 crewmembers in LEO. Until then, access to the GS Spaceresort will be guaranteed by the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. The flight profile desired for the GS Spaceship is based on horizontal takeoff and landing with conventional jet propulsion for takeoff and glided landing. A two-phase rocket motor will take the ship to the speed needed to enter orbit at an altitude of 450 km. The motors and tanks will be located in the rear half of the fuselage, while the front section will house the passengers and crew in reconfigurable seats that will be retracted once the ship is in orbit to be able to leverage the maximum empty volume inside. This ship should permit two launches a month for manned transport, or for putting small commercial satellites into orbit and private research into microgravity.

GS MOON

GS MOON it is the development of the habitats and vehicles in collaboration with organisations that are preparing man's future return to the Moon within the framework of the international colony that is scheduled to be established on the satellite probably in the decade of 2020. The first trips will entail a stay by the astronauts on the colony for a period of 1 to 3 months, with tourist and scientific activities. Depending on the point of their respective orbits, the Moon is located between 356,000 and 407,000 km from the Earth. Due to the fact that it has no magnetic field or atmosphere, the base would be located inside a crater protected from the sun's radiation, although it will have solar collectors in the peaks of eternal light to guarantee a continuous supply of energy. GS Moon is developing a small extendable base using modules of different typologies and building systems for a total of 6 inhabitants in the initial phase
