===Components=== * Habitation tube (torus proper), with a diameter of {{convert|130|m|ft|abbr=on}}. 2/3 of its surface are made of aluminum plates, and the remaining 1/3 is filled with glass windows mounted on aluminum ribs, to allow sunlight to enter inside the torus. * Non-rotating main mirror, that directs sunlight towards the central hub. * Central hub, with a diameter of {{convert|130|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Secondary mirrors around the central hub direct sunlight towards the habitation tube. * Fabrication sphere, connected to central hub's ''South Pole'', with a diameter of {{convert|100|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It is also connected to a solar furnace and the habitat radiator. * Docking module, connected to central hub's ''North Pole'', with a diameter of {{convert|15|m|ft|abbr=on}} and a length of {{convert|60|m|ft|abbr=on}}. * Spokes: 6 spokes of {{convert|15|m|ft|abbr=on}} diameter, connecting the central hub with the habitation tube.
