Gateway Spaceport

Gateway Spaceport is a United States-based company focused on the development of rotating space stations designed to simulate varying levels of gravity. Their core business centers around creating orbital infrastructure capable of replicating both lunar and Martian gravity environments. This unique capability positions them within the emerging market of in-space research and development, as well as space tourism.

The company’s primary technological focus is on the engineering and construction of large-scale rotating structures in orbit. While specific details regarding construction methods or materials are not publicly available, the core concept relies on centrifugal force generated by rotation to create artificial gravity, addressing a significant challenge for long-duration space habitation and biological research. This allows for studies that are difficult or impossible to conduct on Earth or in traditional zero-gravity environments.

Currently, Gateway Spaceport is building a community base to support their vision, indicating a pre-operational stage focused on development and outreach. No specific missions, customers, or completed projects are currently publicized.

Gateway Spaceport differentiates itself by concentrating on artificial gravity as a key feature of its space station design. This specialization targets a niche within the broader space station market, potentially attracting research institutions and private companies seeking to conduct gravity-dependent experiments or prepare for long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as offering a novel experience for space tourists.
