Nice. we may need tracking solar panels and a working rms

Might this here...

Vast Haven-1 VR on Steam

Step into Haven-1, the world's first commercial space station. Unlock its hatch to navigate through the interior of the station, where you can interact with the storage area, the crew quarters, the Haven-1 Lab, and a stunning, 180-degree view of Earth.

...be an inspiration for the development?

Nice. I know we have the Haven, But no interior.
Maybe like the ISS and Skylab a floating person?

francisdrake's Haven-1 add-on already has an interior model with crew included

Yes it does. But it seems it is was based on earlier design. the latest has the window on the side and not the front. I have asked him if I could use it. And he said yes. I could animate the panels. Like the ISS and my Skylab could have a changeable VC view. For this not sure if needed?

Is anyone building them?

There's a rough representation of the new Axiom Station made by francisdrake on the previous page, but there's no version with individual modules/animations yet

 

[MarkWatney2015]

There's a new proposed commercial space station being developed by Max Space, which they call the "Thunderbird"...

US firm's space station could be deployed by a single Falcon 9 rocket

Unlike other space stations, the Thunderbird doesn't require multiple rocket launches to be fully operational in Earth's orbit.

Like Bigelow and Sierra Space, they plan to make Thunderbird's habitat module an inflatable one

Is there any one doing the launches of the Axiom station

 

[barrygolden]

Sorry just saw the new Axiom 5 station with the launches and it looks super but how do you deploy the Solar Panels

In this you can't it is a simple cfg.

Adding solar panel tracking,.....
But I wonder about the orientation?? In the drawing they have the body panels facing y+ is this correct?

 

[gattispilot]

Like so many images of stuff not made yet. It changes

I got this from a you tube video. Notice the aft of the Habitat has no PAM.

But no solar array,.....

But might orient with solar panel up and redesign. 3 grapple points

This is the latest video from Axiom about their upcoming space station. It no longer berths from the front port of Harmony (occupied by PMA-2) but on the vacant nadir port usually reserved for cargo spacecraft like the HTV-X

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. so the first module is the PPTM

 

[gattispilot]

So now we get this:

 

[MarkWatney2015]

The docking port on the left is a CBM-type port. It will be incompatible to an APAS-type mechanism since it was meant to receive the racks that NASA and ESA plans to save before the ISS is sent to the bottom of the Pacific by 2030

Should be similar to those of the early Dragon or MPLM berthing mechanisms

 

[gattispilot]

This is what I have for docking ports.. Not sure it the docking fins are oriented correctly?

 

[gattispilot]

I took the dock of the Columbus MPLM. Docked with ISS and arm attached
