On this Asteroid two (yellow) tracked centrifuges can be seen, as well as domes for microgravity cultivation and several cylindrical buildings for microgravity recreation and industry. The black structure on the back of the asteroid is a solar furnace for power and metal smelting. The green domes are lit by free floating mirrors located behind the camera. This asteroid supports 10000 people. |

A tracked centrifuge system wrapped around a small microgravity Freesphere. Twin trains run in opposite directions within the yellow ring, which is shielded with water tanks, storage spaces and space slag. The Sphere has a double geodesic shell with water in the gap for shielding and thermal control. The internal spheres are farms with shielded stowage for zero g planters. The geodesic spheres entire volume is pressurised as a large zero g recreational habitat |
