Title
Artist's Conception of Space Station Freedom
Full Description
Alan Chinchar's 1991 rendition of the Space Station
Freedom in orbit. The painting depicts the completed space
station. Earth is used as the image's backdrop with the Moon and
Mars off in the distance. Freedom was to be a permanently
crewed orbiting base to be completed in the mid 1990's. It was
to have a crew of 4. Freedom was an attempt at international
cooperation that attempted to incorporate the technological and
economic assistance, of the United States, Canada, Japan,
and nine European nations. The image shows four pressurized
modules (three laboratories and a habitat module) and six large
solar arrays which were expected to generate 56,000 watts of
electricity for both scientific experiments and the daily
operation of the station. Space Station Freedom never came to
fruition. Instead, in 1993, the original partners, as well as
Russia, pooled their resources to create the International Space
Station.
