Working in partnership with Zero G Kitchen, which creates appliances for microgravity use in long-duration space flights, and NanoRacks, a leading provider of commercial access to space, Hilton will be the first hospitality company to participate in research aboard the space station.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s only fitting for a hotel brand that at the height of the Space Race announced plans for a hotel on the moon, said senior vice president and global brand head, DoubleTree by Hilton, Shawn McAteer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cHilton has long been an industry innovator, and as we celebrate our 100th year, we\u2019re excited to send our hospitality into orbit,\u201d McAteer said. \u201cThe simple gesture of a warm cookie welcome is a favorite of DoubleTree guests around the world, and now we are sharing that moment of hospitality as part of this experiment aboard the International Space Station.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ian and Jordana Fichtenbaum, the husband and wife team at Zero G Kitchen responsible for the space oven concept, said the DoubleTree Cookie was their first thought when they began imagining the creation of an oven to make space travel more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cOpening up the frontier of space means making it relatable to people\u2019s everyday lives, and what could be more relatable than a freshly baked cookie?\u201d said Ian Fichtenbaum, co-chef and co-founder, Zero G Kitchen. \u201cWhen we first concepted the oven, we naturally thought of DoubleTree by Hilton and its signature Cookie. It is the perfect treat to bring a warm welcome to space.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>DoubleTree by Hilton is committed to inspiring the next generation of travelers to pursue careers in hospitality, so the brand will also partner with Scholastic to develop an educational program related to hospitality in space for 50,000 middle school classrooms across the United States.

The program and accompanying curriculum, which includes a lesson and activity sheet, will focus on better understanding the challenges of living and working in space, and encourage students to think creatively about what innovations need to occur to ensure long-duration space travel is comfortable and hospitable.<\/p>\n<p>To accompany these efforts, DoubleTree by Hilton and Scholastic will launch a student contest this fall asking U.S. middle school students to submit their own innovative proposal for making life in space more hospitable.
