The power tower reference concept of the space station orbits the Earth in artist's concept. This configuration, presented at an industry briefing at Johnson Space Center, is used as the reference concept for the Phase B preliminary design and definition contracts. About 400 feet in length, the space station has wing-like solar panels and arrays on top to convert sunlight to ~75 kilowatts of electrical power and smaller radiator panels to dissipate heat. At bottom, a space shuttle orbiter is docked to one of five modules that provide living and laboratory space for six to eight people. The spine-like structure that runs the length of the facility is equipped with instruments for solar, stellar, space, and Earth viewing. A station crew member is shown performing an extravehicular activity (spacewalk) at left center and an unmanned co-orbiting platform that will be serviced from the space station.
