Orion Span says it plans to launch the initial Aurora Station module into a low-Earth orbit, at an altitude of 200 miles, in 2021. This orbital altitude is slightly lower than the current positioning of the ISS, which is about 254 mi above the Earth.

The company says the module will boast the most windows of any spacecraft put into orbit, with people staying in private two-person suites on a 12-day round trip, with a three-month training program to get them astronaut-ready before the adventure commences.
