Vessel Commerical LEO destinations and other space stations

Now we get this for LIfe1

this might not go here but might need to look at a Inflatable Lunar hab

This 6 long, 9 dia makes it look like an M&M .

I think they are using a trick to provide more volume. Probably the dished ends do not have a pole in the center, but are rather a torus extending outward from the rim of the center body. I tried to approximate this with a negative taper on the dished end. Looks like this:


The red shape is a classical cylinder with dished ends.
The blue shape has this negative taper, so they biggest axial distance is on a circle, not in the center.
Both shapes have the same length and diameter, but the blue one provides more volume.

This is what I have

The space station Hotel LEO over the red heart of Australia​

When making a model of the inflatable Sierra Space Life Habitat, I came across a concept of combining four inflatable habitats into one space station. That might be a comfortable space hotel for tourists and scientists, or a stopover for astronauts on their way out.

Attached is a first version of the Hotel LEO.

You will need the Crew Dragon 2022 for the docking scenarios, and the Falcon9 for the launch scenario.

wouls love to see some launch scn for the Modules and a fly through VC like is done in ISSHD
It wouls be great to see this Lunar hab

Interiors would have to done.

niiiiiice ! I can see 3 docking ports in the "hotel" and 4 in the "lifehab" (that is, I guess, at the center)... On the pic I can only see 2 free docking ports, correct?

Could you start from the wheel station and make, say, 36 available peripheral docking ports (1 every 10 deg.), in addition of the 2 central ones? Then some rail / animation to bring a docked vessel from the central docking port to one available port in the periphery of the wheel station... ooops, maybe I'm repeating myself here, sorry if so (but it's an obsession to see such a wheel station with parking slots)

NanoRacks and Voyager Space's Starlab space station now planned to be launched from a SpaceX Starship rocket

 

[barrygolden]

Did I see that this might be built with Stainless Steel

Did I see that this might be built with Stainless Steel

They've abandoned the inflatable design last year.

 

[gattispilot]

I wonder what is will look like?

 

[barrygolden]

there is a real good video and pictures on the web site above

 

[gattispilot]

yes. But is that what is going to be made or not?

 

[Gargantua2024]

yes. But is that what is going to be made or not?

These are the most recent renders for the Starlab's redesign


The main habitat is about 8.0 m wide, enough to fit inside Starship's cargo bay

 

[barrygolden]

I think if Starship works this will be built here is a shot for some external spots might be for EVA as well

 

[gattispilot]

Oh I thought that was the cancelled one. MAybe I will whip up something

 

[gattispilot]

I get about 6 x 6.5 meters

 

[gattispilot]

So not really sure about the docking rings? On the front it looks like a rectangle hatch like the ISS modules. Docking petals? on the side at 60 degrees is a more standard dock arrangement. But the dock seems recessed.

 

[gattispilot]

Rough body. Length is 14.5 meters.

I am thinking windows on top and bottom and mirror the front bottom window on the other side?

It looks like the front and side have rectangle hatches. On top seems to be a smaller dock? Where the rms is going to attach something? But it seems the interior hatches are round?

It looks like in the aft are 2 solar panels and 2 radiators.

Saw this video I need to add another smaller dock.
