Abstract

GALACTIC SUITE DESIGN SL is a Barcelona based company, developing conceptualisation, tourism experiences and design in the aerospace sector. The project that first brought the company into the public eye was the Galactic Suite Spaceresort, which aims to develop the first space hotel combining orbiting and earth-based elements to offer a comprehensive experience in space tourism.

The paper will explain some of the elements summing-up to offer a complete experience to the would-be space tourists, as well as to their accompanying people: from the philosophy that back up the experience to the required on-ground infrastructure to support specific training and recreational facilities; as well as the space hotel’s architecture. 

The paper will focus on the module’s evolution to reuse existing technologies, but offering to the tourist elements of exclusivity, comfort and ergonomy in order to maximise the experience.
