OSS Hope
The orbital colony, 2071
OSS Hope is the opening experience of the Museum of the Future's "Journey of the Pioneers," set aboard a kilometre-wide solar space station orbiting Earth in the year 2071. Visitors begin with a simulated rocket launch from Dubai before "docking" onto the station's viewing deck, home in the museum's narrative to thousands of residents harvesting solar energy for a sustainable Earth. The centrepiece is a four-metre, 1:400-scale model of the station — built from a tonne of aluminium and around 3,000 hand-painted 3D-printed parts, with rotating rings that simulate artificial gravity. Across the deck, interactive stations introduce the eight future professions imagined for life in space and let visitors handle the tools and objects of daily orbital life, within walls woven from 3D-printed mesh designed to resemble asteroid-mined material. The experience is included in general admission and forms the first stage of the museum's vision of space as infrastructure for a better planet.
