Abstract
A habitation module that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the habitation module includes a core structure having cylindrical sections spaced apart from one another, and a hub that slides over one of the cylindrical sections of the core structure to span a distance between the cylindrical sections. The hub includes a plurality of portals spaced radially around a circumference of the hub, and gravity chambers attach to portals of the hub. A drive mechanism rotates the hub about an axis in relation to the core structure to simulate a gravitational force within the gravity chambers. Rotary seals form an air-tight seal between the hub and the cylindrical sections of the core structure so that the interior of the hub and the gravity chambers may be pressurized.
