| The Sagan
class space station is a large orbital colony intended for permanent
occupation in space. Sagans
and similar large wheel type space stations are found throughout human
space in the Orion Arm, and a half-dozen can be found in Sagittarius,
mostly in the possession of the SDC. The Sagan is a toroidal
wheel hub-and-spoke design with the habitat in the wheel and much of
the hangar, cargo, and maintenance facilities in the hub. The
Wheel typically rotates to provide 1.00 G of spin gravity in the
habitat sections, while the Hub has gravity levels between free-fall
and about 0.16 G. The Sagan has agricultural facilities sufficient to provide food for up to 6000 people, meaning it is not entirely self-sufficient when fully manned, but as these space habitats were rarely at full capacity, it was not considered a drawback. In any case, additional hydroponic food systems could be installed at the sacrifice of cargo volume if necessary. |
