Title
Noordung's Space Station Habitat Wheel
Full Description
1929 Hermann Noordung depiction of a space station habitat wheel.
Hermann Potocnik (1892-1929), also known as Herman Noordung,
created the first detailed technical drawings of a space station.
Power was generated by collecting sunlight through the concave
mirror in the center. This was one of three components of
Noordung's space station. The other two were the observatory and
the machine room, each connected to the habitat by an umbilical.
