To be clear, are you talking about building a centrifuge attached to the ISS that's large and safe enough for humans to spend time in? Because that seems like an absolutely massive engineering effort, probably comparable to the work that went into the ISS itself.
- avmich 3y agoIt's either mechanically connected to ISS, which has some advantages and disadvantages, or is a separate module which closely follows ISS on the same orbit but is not mechanically connected to ISS, which of course also has advantages and disadvantages. No, it's not going to be absolutely massive engineering effort... why do you think it will? https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/35960/how-many-times-would-two-astronauts-have-to-run-around-skylab-to-turn-it-by-10-a https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/35960/how-many-tim...
- marcellus23 3y agoMaybe I'm overestimating how difficult it is. Especially if it's a separate craft, then yeah, it could basically just be a cylinder.
