The Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC, for short) is a branch of The Gateway Foundation, which was set up in 2012 but most likely became a household name in 2019, when it announced plans for a space hotel. Initially called the Von Braun Space Station, that space hotel has now been rebranded as The Voyager Station, and, in case you were wondering, yes, it is still happening.
OAC and Voyager Station are riding a high wave of media attention right now, even though the reason they’re doing so isn’t new. At the end of January 2021, in an hour-long live chat, OAC revealed new details and current plans for the Voyager Station in a bid to raise capital. As we speak, you can book reservations for a visit to the space hotel or, if you so wish, invest in the venture.
