Space Station Concepts: Power Tower

"It would provide maximized user viewing opportunities, a clear area for Shuttle dockings and versatility in Station growth. The design was also less sensitive to changes in mass caused by the addition of modules to the Station. The 'Power Tower' station's main structure was to be 122 meters tall with 75 kW solar panels sticking 41 meters to either side of the centerline.

"This is an artist's conception of the proposed 'Power Tower' space station configuration, shown with the Japanese Experiment Module attached. This model and several others were examined before deciding on the Space Station Freedom structure that was later abandoned in favor of the International Space Station. Date: June 19, 1985."

There were nine articulated attachments for external payloads dedicated to Earth and space observation. The initial Station would have had a crew of six working on 12-hour shifts, and feature two US-developed laboratory modules plus two habitation modules.

A maximum of 18 hours/week of EVA 'spacewalks' would be permitted per astronaut. International modules had not yet been incorporated in the design. The 'Power Tower' assembly schedule would have required 12 Shuttle flights over a three-year period, starting in April 1992. The Space Station would support research in a man-tended capability from April 1993 onwards. But the schedule was already starting to slip as the Office of Management and Budget reduced the Fiscal 1985 budget from $235 million to $150 million. The slight reduction increased the total cost to $8.1 billion at 1984 rates ($11.4 billion in current-year dollars).

Some observers were critical of the contractors' lack of independent involvement in the design process. They felt Station contractors did nothing but ape NASA's configurations in order to win the contract. In May 1987, former Space Station engineer Oliver Harwood testified in the Senate. 'Aerospace industry resources and capabilities were being squandered by 'rubber stamping' NASA designs instead of seeking independent and competitive solutions to system problems. Why were the artist's conceptions of eight major corporations so nearly identical? In a real competition seeking real answers there would be a different version for each of them.'

NASA allocated all Space Station definition work between four 'Work Packages' managed by its Johnson, Marshall, Goddard and Lewis Space Centers in July 1984. Work Package 4, led by the Lewis Research Center, would investigate Space Station power options. The two leading contenders were photovoltaic solar arrays and solar thermodynamic generators. Solar thermodynamic generators would use huge parabolic dishes to heat a fluid, which then powered electric generators. They were more efficient than traditional photovoltaic solar panels, had a longer lifetime and generated less atmospheric drag. But they also had to be pointed to within 1.5 degrees of the Sun to generate electricity, and the concept had never been tried before. NASA awarded contracts worth a combined $144 million to six contractor teams in April 1985, including $20 million to Work Package 4 contractors TRW and Lockheed. The agency still had not decided whether solar thermodynamic generators or photovoltaic arrays would be chosen. Another concept from the late 1980s would generate auxiliary power from the Earth's magnetic field by connecting a generator to a long electrically conducting tether. The other end was attached to the Space Station.

The McDonnell-Douglas 'Power Tower' Space Station crew modules were 10.7 meters long with docking ports at both ends. They would have been assembled end-to-end in a racetrack-like configuration. Some engineers felt this could have created dangerous dead-ends inside the Station if a module had to be depressurized. The contractors paid considerable attention to habitability issues since each crew would live and work on the Space Station for 90 days before returning to Earth. Rockwell's crew module proposal put all the equipment inside storage racks in the middle of the module rather than on the walls.

Haven't done a sketch page update in a while, so here's the rest of Earth-3's Legion of Justice: Savanna, Power Tower/Enormita, Venus-in-Flowers, The Red Hood (her Capuchin, Jester) , Star Sapphire Arin Sur, and of course the Amazing Sinestro

(lore under the cut)

Among the doomed heroes of Universe 3--the Justice Underground, the Central-Keystone Renegade Police Force, the Gotham Resistance, the Crimson Knights of the Deep Kosmos--the Legion of Justice has been the one able to go toe to toe with the Crime Syndicate of Amerika.

Founded by Captain Luthor, Dr. Arlene Quinzel took leadership when Alexander was lost to the Curse of Mazahs. Blocked from to getting into medical school due to her family's past political affiliations, Arlene found herself managing the low-rent nightclub where she met Jackie Dent, going on to follow him into the Gotham Resistance when he was forcibly transformed into the Jokester. It was there she met Isla, the Venus-in-Flowers, an Avater of the Green struggling to protect her Parliament of Flowers from invasion and corruption by the corrupt Swamp King, Alec Arcane.

Savanna and Enormita emerged as survivors of Contessa Cale's Heroics Inc, seeking both justice and revenge against the Superwomen of Demon Island and their Heggra cult. Once a wealthy philanthropist and a brilliant geneticist, respectively, Pris and Dorothea have now committed their lives from the Anti-Life Religion espoused by the Demon Amazons.

Star Sapphire and Sinestro came from the stars, rebels against the Overlords of Oa and their Emerald Knight enforcers. Once members of the Last Guardians, their leader Atros--Crimson King of Fifth Conversion--teleported them across the universe to save their lives...not from the Emerald Knights, but something far, far worse, an All-Annihilating White Light. Stranded in what seemed unfamiliar territory, they discovered Atros had sent them to a place they knew all too well: The Grave World of Sir Abin Sur. Finding his successors lording over this planet like a personal fiefdom, far from even the Overlords' control, it became their mission to conquer fear and return the healing light of love to their adopted world.

I fucked up on Luther's face he looks like he ate a lemon and disliked it . He's supposed to look determined

Anyway I experimented with some versions of the Antimatter Legion of Doom (legion of hope?) Some inspired by the designs from the crime syndicate comic series from a while back, I forget the name but it takes place in Earth 3

Dc x dp idea 168

Flash messes with time, in doing so Danny ends up in a bad position.Danny was totally by coincidence summoned to clockworks towers. He gets back to see His parents way are now way big mad scientist. Like on the leagues watch list mad scientist. Like villainous mad scientist. But the two do hide there identities shockingly well.

Danny in this never had his accident. So his parents had enlisted his rouges to help cause chaos and mayhem. The world is now constantly pestered by ghost from the zone.

Phantom does not exist. No one is friends with jazz or Danny out of fear.

Jazz is the one to realize something is wrong, followed by the parents who want to forcibly make Danny help them, even if it means breaking him. Jazz helps Danny escape.

Danny had it and knows it has to be flashes fault. Clockwork has told him stories about flash, mainly to make fun of him. But it has to be his fault.

Cue Danny dragging jazz along to go yell at flash for messing with time. Flash has no idea who Danny is (he was small time Danny had avoided them). Danny is not having it at all just screaming at him about his parents being crazy, none of his friends being his friends and blames him for the ghost problem now facing the world.

#dpxdc #Danny is mad #jazz is confused #be fun if flash can’t fix it #as the world was worse before #Danny didn’t see how bad it was cause he was in the ghost zone #Danny now has a ghost problem to deal with #vlad is totally helping #he is down #the three would make a good villain trio #flash messes with time #but clockwork finds it funny the bulk of the time #clockwork was not letting Danny loose his powers and had him in his tower #that way the effects didn’t hit him

sam and frodo’s relationship is so crazy theyre like what if we had a homoerotic adventurer’s bond that was so strong it overcame the power of supreme evil, saving not just the world but one another, and the only reason we were able to survive the violence around us was through sheer love for each other, and although we’re not canonically lovers our relationship is so much more intimate and tender than acceptable norms for male/male relationships that we transcend easily definable labels and thus become queer irregardless of whether our attraction is platonic, romantic, or sexual…and we were both hobbits

#literally going insane over them #sam/frodo is just so POWERFUL #sorry i just finished return of the king after watching the trilogy for the first time #needless to say its done a number on me emotionally #i blame elijah wood and the heartbreaking love in his eyes when he says im glad to be with samwise gamgee at the end of all things #and i also blame sean astin and the way he says dont go where i cant follow #absolutely stunning brilliant magnificent #the lord of the rings #the fellowship of the ring #the two towers #the return of the king #lotr #sam/frodo #frodo baggins #samwise gamgee #frodo x sam #jrr tolkien #alex talks #samfro #fav #greatest hits #1k
