Jeff Bezos | A ‘business park’ in space? The new plan of world billionaire Jeff Bezos

World billionaire Jeff Bezos with new business goals in space. Bezos-owned American space airline Blue Origin announced Monday that it plans to develop the Orbital Reef, a commercial space station, in partnership with the Sierra Nevada Corporation, the Sierra Space Corporation. After 2025, the companies aim to launch a space station called the ‘Business Park’ in space.

What is Orbital Reef?

According to Blue Origin’s plans, this orbital reef space station will operate as a “mixed use business park” in space. It will offer the infrastructure needed to boost economic activity and open up new markets in space.

Blue Origin aims to build the Orbital Reef Space Station in partnership with Sierra Space and Boeing, the space flight arm of the Sierra Nevada Corporation. The project is also supported by Redwire Space, Genesis Engineering Solutions, and Arizona State University.

“Seasonal space agencies, high-tech consortiums, media, travel companies, entrepreneurs and investors will all find space in this orbital refill,” the companies said in a statement.

New chapter in space achievements

Experts say the announcement of the new private space station is a natural development of the existing ‘space tourism’ route. Business in the region is expected to grow further as more than one private space agency, including Bezos’ Blue Origin, plans to launch space travel this year.

“The space station will open a new chapter in space exploration and development, facilitating the growth of new habitats and business models in the future,” Blue Origin said in announcing Orbital Reef’s project on Monday.

In April, it was announced that Sierra Space would offer the first flying commercial space station. Then in July Blue Origin embarked on a successful tourist spaceflight. Jeff Bezos and three others made the trip. Earlier this month, the company launched 90 – year – old U.S. actor William Shatner and ‘Star Trek’ fame captain James Kirk into space.
