The Loop (Semper Idem)

The Loop (formerly known as Orbitex) is a publicly funded permanent space station venture currently under planning and backed by space mogul and Galactic Aerospace CEO Glenn Hughes. The project is funded and overseen by the International Joint Space Infrastructure Agency (IJSIA), with its main backers coming from Japan and the United States. Currently, the space station's modules are under construction, with main construction facilities in Cary, North Carolina and Huntsville, Alabama. Construction on the main structure began in 2058, and is expected to be assembled in space by the end of 2065.
