A SKYSCRAPER suspended from an asteroid in orbit over Dubai has been planned by a New York architecture firm.
The proposed Analemma Tower, set to span 32,000 metres, anchored by resilient space cables, would have homes, offices, gardens and even space burials – when human remains are launched into space.
The tower is envisioned to float in the sky, orbit the globe in a figure-8 pattern and return to the same spot every 24 hours.
It promises to be self-sustaining: powered by space-based solar panels and sustained by air moisture and rainwater which would be filtered and recycled in a semi-closed loop system.
The tower’s elevation height of 32,000 metres would mean that residents would get an additional 45 minutes of daylight.
It would also be expected to reach speeds of 300mph as it travels through the sky.
New York-based architectural firm Cloud Architecture Office has outlined the technique that will be used.
It writes on its website: “This system is referred to as the Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS) which is based on the principles of a conventional space elevator.
“By placing a large asteroid into orbit over earth, a high strength cable can be lowered towards the surface of earth from which a super tall tower can be suspended.“
However, the Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS) remains a theoretical concept and has not yet been built.
The biggest obstacle is materials: while carbon nanotubes and graphene are strong enough in theory, we currently cannot produce them at the scale needed for such massive tethers.
Space tether technology is still experimental and under development.
To suspend something like a low-orbit apartment complex, tens of thousands of kilometers of cable would be required.
The proposed tower would be positioned in a geosynchronous orbit—an orbit where it moves at the same rotational speed as Earth, keeping it above the same point on the planet’s surface.
The slowest part of its orbit would reportedly go over New York City.
It remains uncertain whether the proposed tower will ever become a reality – and if it does, when that might happen.
It comes as plans were recently revealed for a 3D-printed skyscraper built on the moon.
The innovative 50 metre-tall structure, designed by British firm Foster and Partners, will feature vast solar panels.
The energy collected will be used to power lunar infrastructure at the Moon’s South Pole.
NASA and 3D-printing studio Branch Technology are also partners on the extraordinary project – which aims to create a sustainable energy source for future moon bases.
Images show the breathtaking tower that will be constructed using 3D-printing technology.
It will feature a spiral-shaped structure with fold-out solar panels.
These panels will unfold from the tower’s top platform, harnessing solar energy to support critical power and communication systems.

The Burj Azizi: Proposed to stand 725 meters talls and have 133 floors. It is under construction and estimated to be completed in 2030. Once built, it will be the world’s second-tallest building. The Ciel Tower: It will have a height of 365 meters and over 80 floors. It is currently under construction and expected to be completed in 2025. Once completed, Ciel Tower will become the world’s tallest hotel, surpassing the current record-holder, Gevora Hotel. Six Senses Dubai Marina tower: It will stand at 517 meters tall, have 122 floors and will take the title of the world’s tallest residential tower upon its 2028 completion.
