Description

English: This is a concept drawing of an orbit and launch facility. Itwas to use a nuclear SNAP-II nuclear power supply on the end of the long telescoping boom. Nuclear reactors were considereddangerous, which is why in this concept drawing it was located sofar away from the habitat part of the station. Creators envisioned the structure being built in orbit to allow assembly of the station in orbit which could be then larger than anything that could be launched from Earth. The two main modules were to be 33 feet in diameter and 40 feet in length. When combined themodules would create a four deck facility, 2 decks to be used forlaboratory space and 2 decks for operations and living quarters.The facility also allowed for servicing and launch of a spacevehicle. Though the station was designed to operate in micro-gravity, it would also have an artificial gravity capability.
