ARTIST CONCEPT: of an Earth orbiting Manned Space Station from 1963. It consists of a tank suitably equipped with life-support systems and having a nuclear power generation system installed on a tower at some distance from the tank proper to reduce shielding requirements. The estimated electrical power requirement of 30 to 60 kilowatts from on-board power to operate the platform is within the capability of the SNAP-8 electrical generating system, including shielding of some 15,000-30,000 pounds. The entire structure is within the allowable 200,000 pound gross weight based on a Saturn V launch vehicle.
