Roof Space Station Concept, 1984. Creator: NASA
Roof Space Station Concept, 1984. Johnson Space Center " roof" concept for a space station. The " roof" was covered with solar array cells, that were to generate about 120 kilowatts of electricity. Within the V-shaped beams there would be five modules for living, laboratory space, and external areas for instruments and other facilities

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Roof Space Station Concept, a visionary idea conceived by NASA in 1984. Designed at Johnson Space Center, this concept aimed to revolutionize space exploration and energy generation. The focal point of the design is the "roof" covered with solar array cells, which were envisioned to generate an impressive 120 kilowatts of electricity. This innovative use of photovoltaics would provide sustainable power for various modules within the station. The V-shaped beams seen in the image contain five modules that serve as living quarters, laboratories, and external areas for instruments and other facilities. These spaces would enable astronauts to conduct research and experiments while also providing them with comfortable living conditions during their stay in space. The photograph captures not only the futuristic nature of this concept but also highlights America's commitment to pushing boundaries in technology and space exploration during the 1980s. It symbolizes NASA's dedication to harnessing solar energy as a viable power source for future missions beyond Earth's atmosphere. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of our ongoing quest for innovation and discovery in outer space.
