Title
Freedom Space Station Concept
Full Description
A concept drawing of Space Station Freedom. Freedom was to be a
permanently crewed orbiting base in orbit 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.
