ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to space stations and particularly to a novel station composed of structural elements for a complete station adapted in their entirety to be launched in a single voyage as cargo in the hold of a present-day space shuttle, for example, and to be deployed in space and there erected to form a structure presenting a number of modules, held in fixed spaced relation to each other, adapted to enclose a variety of functional areas and as a whole to be rotated to generate centrifugal force in simulation of gravity.
