  • Orb2: Spherical Space Station Designed for Single Launch and On-Orbit Assembly
    Orb2: Spherical Space Station Designed for Single Launch and On-Orbit Assembly Vojtech Holub ∗ Unaffiliated With upcoming heavy and super-heavy lift rockets targeted for launch in 2021, a new class of payloads can be launched into low Earth orbit. This paper presents a design for a space station capable of being lifted by a single Blue Origin New Glenn vehicle. Once assembled on-orbit, it contains more than twice the pressurized volume of the International Space Station. The pressurized volume of traditional space station modules is limited by the dimensions of the payload fairing. The proposed Orb2 design consists of a spherical habitation module and a service module. The habitation module avoids the volume limitation by being launched in a flat-packed stack and assembled and welded robotically in orbit. Using CAD and finite element analysis, this paper shows that the habitation module contains approximately 2000 m3 of pressurized volume, with a mass of 24 tons, and can hold four times the standard atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the Whipple shield configuration is identical to the heavily protected sections of the ISS. The service module has a traditional cylindrical design and its role is to provide all the necessary utilities. Furthermore, the paper explains the assembly and welding method required to convert Orb2 into the fully assembled space station. I.

  • The International Space Station (ISS) Is an Experiment in the Design, Development, and Assembly of an Orbital Space Facility. It
    The International Space Station (ISS) is an experiment in the design, development, and assembly of an orbital space facility. It serves as a elements habitat for its crew, a command post for orbital operations, and a port for the rendezvous and berthing of smaller orbiting vehicles. It functions as an orbital microgravity and life sciences laboratory, a test bed for new technologies in areas like life support and robotics, and a platform for astronomical and Earth observations. PMA 2 berthed on Node 1 serves as a primary docking port for the Space Shuttle. The U.S. Lab Module Destiny provides research and habitation accommodations. Node 2 is to the left; the truss is mounted atop the U.S. Lab; Node 1, Unity, is to the right; Node 3 and the Cupola are below and to the right. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION GUIDE ELEMENTS 23 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN EVOLUTION Architecture Design Evolution Why does the ISS look the way it does ? The design evolved over more than a decade. The modularity and size of the U.S., Japanese, and European elements were dictated by the use of the Space Shuttle as the primary launch vehicle and by the requirement to make system components maintainable and replaceable over a lifetime of many years. When the Russians joined the program in 1993, their architecture was based largely on the Mir and Salyut stations they had built earlier. Russian space vehicle design philosophy has always emphasized automated operation and remote control. The design of the interior of the U.S., European, and Japanese elements was dictated by four specific principles: modularity, maintainability, reconfigurability, and accessibility.

Our goal is the capacity for people to work and learn and operate and live safely beyond the Earth for extended periods of time, ultimately in ways that are more sustainable and even indefinite. And in fulfilling this task, we will not only extend humanity’s reach in space -- we will strengthen America’s leadership here on Earth.” - President Obama - April, 2010 4 NASA Strategic Plan Objective 1.1 Expand human presence into the solar system and to the surface of Mars to advance exploration, science, innovation, benefits to humanity, and international collaboration. 5 Strategic Principles for Sustainable Exploration • Implementable in the near-term with the buying power of current budgets and in the longer term with budgets commensurate with economic growth; • Exploration enables science and science enables exploration, leveraging robotic expertise for human exploration of the solar system • Application of high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) technologies for near term missions, while focusing sustained investments on technologies and capabilities to address challenges of future missions; • Near-term mission opportunities with a defined cadence of compelling and integrated human and robotic missions providing for an incremental buildup of capabilities for more complex missions over time; • Opportunities for U.S. commercial business to further enhance the experience and business base; • Multi-use, evolvable space infrastructure, minimizing unique major developments, with each mission leaving something behind to support subsequent missions; and • Substantial new international and commercial partnerships, leveraging the current International Space Station partnership while building new cooperative ventures.

Defined as the “theory and practice of designing and building inhabited environments in outer space,” the field synthesizes human space flight systems engineering subjects with the long tradition of making environments that support human living, work, and aspiration. The scope of the field is outlined, and its three principal domains differentiated. The current state of the art is described in terms of executed projects. Foreseeable options for 21st century developments in human space flight provide a framework to tease out potential space architecture opportunities for the next century.

Although humans have lived in space for many years, there has never been a habitat beyond low-Earth-orbit. As part of the Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Habitation Project, a study was conducted to develop weightless habitat configurations using systems based on International Space Station (ISS) designs. Two mission sizes are described for a 4-crew 60-day mission, and a 4-crew 500-day mission using standard Node, Lab, and Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) sized elements, and ISS derived habitation systems. These durations were selected to explore the lower and upper bound for the exploration missions under consideration including a range of excursions within the Earth- Moon vicinity, near earth asteroids, and Mars orbit. Current methods for sizing the mass and volume for habitats are based on mathematical models that assume the construction of a new single volume habitat. In contrast to that approach, this study explored the use of ISS designs based on existing hardware where available and construction of new hardware based on ISS designs where appropriate. Findings included a very robust design that could be reused if the DSH were assembled and based at the ISS and a transportation system were provided for its’ return after each mission.
