Space Stations Designs Using SpaceX Starships

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by Brian Wang

NASA and SpaceX have not revealed or developed plans for their Starship based space stations. Cuzza Futurism has some designs for space stations built using standard and redesigned SpaceX Starships and some other components.

The first is a space station built using 16 SpaceX Starships and cargo from 30 other launches. It has no rotating structures for artificial gravity. It has 24 large solar panels.

The second space station built with SpaceX Starships has a rotating section for artificial gravity. It is about 13 megawatts of solar power.

The rotating section is 200 meters in diameters. This would be 4 times more than the 50 meter height of a standard SpaceX starship. The space station design imagines larger version 2 SpaceX Starships.

The fictional Space Station V shown in 2001 a Space Odyssey has a diameter of about 980 feet or about 300 meters.

One of NASA's actual space ship designs, Nautilus X, has a rotating simulated gravity section.

Cuzza Futurism's design has heat radiators and solar panels.
