SHIPtember 2017 - Day 18 WIP update
More progress on the SHIP, er Orbital Station (yet to be named).
Due to added weight as the progress continues, the SHIP will now reside on it's side, supported by 4 clear columns for stability purposes. I am thinking of adding a slow motorized turntable to simulate the orbital nature of this station. I might not finish that by end of September, but I hope to get the SHIP done.
Progress:
Dome semispheres finished and attached, Shuttle docking points on 2 sides.
Still to be done:
Life support interior of the bio-dome: vegetaion for oxygen regeneration and food source, waste recycling, water purification.
Communication, solar arrays, thrusters and storage tanks.
Due to my travels to Denmark this week, building progress will resume next Monday.
