rotative space station
Sophie Adenot’s mission to the ISS disregards the real challenges facing life in Deep Space
Sophie Adenot’s mission ignores the real challenges of living in deep space. Rather than endlessly studying the known negative effects of weightlessness, ESA (and France) would be better off spending their money on studying the feasibility of a rotating space station. This could provide an answer to this major problem, as it could be used not only for future stations themselves but also for future spacecrafts.

My favorite rotating space station!
My favorite rotating space station has the ideal dimensions for humans to live in it in acceptable conditions, and its mass is neither technically impossible nor prohibitively expensive to build or operate. The key figures are: radius of 60 meters and 2.73 rounds per minute.

Worst case for a rotative Space station located in L1 of the Earth Moon system
After presenting the advantages of establishing a space station around the L1 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, and then the advantages of having the station’s torus rotate at ≤ 2 rpm at a distance of ≥ 110 meters from its center, I would like to focus on the implications and show that our choice should be geared towards a compromise that is not the ideal station but the most realistic. Therefore, the ideal presented hereunder is the worst case. Next week, I will explain my choice.

Description of a possible Space rotative station at L1 of the Earth Moon system
Today I present the structure and composition of a rotating space station located around L1 of the Earth-Moon system. The torus, in order to generate minimal but comfortable gravity through its rotation, must be positioned at a distance from the center such that the number of rounds per minute required to achieve this gravity, is minimal. The central axis, in zero gravity, must house all the services for which gravity is unnecessary, or even detrimental. The relationship between the rotating torus and the stationary central axis is complex on account of this difference.
