"Centrifugal, centrifugal space station..."

Claire flipped through the Forward Space Station introduction materials on the New Yuan Aeronautics power official website while also sketching on a piece of paper.

Every astronaut was familiar with centrifugal space stations, but they were quite troublesome to build. Not to mention other factors, just the task of launching several hundred tons of mass into near-Earth orbit for assembly required two conditions:

Heavy-lift rockets and space shuttles.

The former would launch the habitation modules, the latter would install the truss.

Having such a heavy space station spin was a severe challenge to the docking ports, and even a fully closed-loop connection like New Yuan's required an external steel truss structure to be reliably used.
