Abstract

As the space industry matures, large space stations will be built. This paper organizes and documents constraints on the size of these space stations. Human frailty, station design, and construction impose these constraints. Human limitations include gravity, radiation, air pressure, rotational stability, population, and psychology. Station design limitations include gravity, population, material, geometry, mass, air pressure, and rotational stability. Limits on space station construction include construction approaches, very large stations, and historic station examples. This paper documents all these constraints for thoroughness and review; however, only a few constraints significantly limit the station size. This paper considers rotating stations with radii greater than 10 kilometers. Such stations may seem absurd today; however, with robotic automation and artificial intelligence, such sizes may become feasible in the future.

大型空间站的设计限制
随着航天工业的成熟,将建造大型空间站。本文整理并记录了这些空间站规模的限制因素。人类的脆弱性、空间站的设计和建造造成了这些限制。对人类的限制包括重力、辐射、气压、旋转稳定性、人口和心理。空间站设计的限制包括重力、人口、材料、几何形状、质量、气压和旋转稳定性。空间站建造的限制包括建造方法、超大型空间站和历史空间站实例。本文记录了所有这些限制因素,以便进行全面审查;不过,只有少数限制因素对空间站的规模有重大限制。本文考虑了半径大于 10 公里的旋转站。今天看来,这样的站房似乎有些荒谬;不过,随着机器人自动化和人工智能的发展,这样的站房规模在未来也许是可行的。
