SPACE STATION MODULES


Our space station components will be loosely based on the Crew Module (CM) design. The basic CM is a cylinder with a radius of 4.27 m and a height of 2.29 m. We then doubled and tripled it to get other variants.

All of our modules will "hardened" against the hostile environment of space. Instead of building a "storm shelter" for the astronauts to safely ride out a storm in space, every module will be its own "storm shelter" constantly protecting its occupants from the worst that space has to offer. This will also lessen the amount of radiation or spaceflight crew will absorb throughout their careers.

The first EOS module is the Connector (Image 1), which is based on the CM_1 design. It has pressurized docking rings on the top and bottom of the module. There are also pressurized docking rings on the sides in place of a propellant ring. Connectors will be primarily used for connecting two other modules at right angles to each other. It has refillable LN2 and LO2 tanks to allow for several cycles of the airlock. Electrical power will be provided by the space station itself. It has a mass of 2,625 kg.

The second EOS module is the Half–Singlewide (Image 2), which is based on the CM_3 design. It has pressurized docking rings on the top and bottom of the module. There are also pressurized docking rings on the sides. The Half–Singlewides will be used for connecting two other modules and for some of the berthing units. Electrical power will be provided by the space station itself. It has a mass of 5,250 kg.

The third EOS module is the Singlewide (Image 3). It has six decks with pressurized docking rings on the top and bottom of the module. There are some with pressurized docking rings on the sides. Singlewides will be used for Observation ports and for berthing units. Electrical power will be provided by the space station itself. It has a mass of 10,500 kg.

The final EOS module is the Doublewide (Image 4). It is essentially two Singlewide modules side–by–side merged into one. It has six decks with pressurized docking rings on the top and bottom of the module. There are some with pressurized docking rings on the sides. Doublewides will be used as the core of the space station. Electrical power will be provided by the space station itself. It has a mass of 21,000 kg.

All of these modules will be connected together in a way that will house and feed people living and working in space.
