The Commercial Work From Space Station Is Called "Orbital Reef"

Are you tired of doing work from home? Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin unveils plans for a business Park in Space, launch before 2030. 

The commercial work from space station is called "Orbital Reef"!

Blue Origin, American spaceflight company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, announced that it is aiming to develop a commercial space station called Orbital Reed along with Sierra Space Corporation, a division of Sierra Nevada Corporation, airplane manufacturer Boeing, as part of Bezos' next plans for outer space.

The company said that it is aiming to launch this space station, a sort of 'business park' in the cosmos, in the second half of this decade, i.e. after 2025.

Blue Origin said the 32,000 sq ft station would provide customers with an ideal location for "film-making in microgravity" or "conducting cutting-edge research" and said it would also include a "space hotel".

The station will open the next chapter of human space exploration and development by facilitating the growth of a vibrant ecosystem and business model for the future.

Orbital Reef will be operated as a "mixed use business park", and plans to provide the infrastructure need to scale economic activity and open new markets in space, Blue Origin and Sierra Space said.

"Seasoned space agencies, high-tech consortia, sovereign nations wothout space programs, media and travel companies, funded entrepreneurs and sponsored inventors, and future-minded investors all have a place on Orbital-Reef," the companies said in a statement.

Blue Origin describes the Orbital Reef station which would inhabit up to 10 people.

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 need to normalise spade flight."

The companies collaborating with Blue Origin for the private space station include LIFE habitat (Large Integrated Flexible Environment; essentially an inflatable space station module) which plans to use its Dream Chaser spacecraft to transport cargo an crew to-and-form the station. Redwire Space will run the station's payload operations and will build deployable structures.

It is currently rated as safe until and new administrator Bill Nelson has said he hopes it will last until 2030, by which time NASA wants the commercial sector to step up and replace it. Blue Origin currently only flies in the suborbital space with its New Shepard rocket, which blasted Star Trek actor William Shatner beyond the atmosphere, earlier this month. Blue Origin has other projects including New Glenn, a rocket that can fly cargo and people into orbit, and a lunar lander.
