ABSTRACT:
Living quarters for a space vehicle including a rotary cylindrical module enclosing a living compartment for human occupancy, and means for rotating the module about its longitudinal central axis to create a force of approximately 1 G within the module adjacent the outer wall, and an entrance opening formed within one end wall of the cylindrical module to permit the passage of a human coccupant from the zero-gravity space within a space vehicle into the artificial-gravity environment of the living compartment. An inside ladder is mounted within the living compartment, extending radially from the entrance opening to the outside wall of the cylindrical housing to permit the occupant to move from a zero-gravity environment gradually toward the 1 G environment. A platform, such as an outside ladder, is preferably rotatably mounted outside the module adjacent the entrance opening to permit an occupant standing upon the platform to easily pass through the entrance opening into the living compartment. The living compartment may be furnished and equipped to provide sleeping, recreational, or restroom facilities within a 1 G environment.
