The station represents the manned long-term flying machine intended for scientific researches and semi industrial production on an orbit of any body of the Solar system or in a free space for 18-27 people. Such station is capable to support lives of people staying on it for a long time period.

A symmetric natural form of snowflake was taken as a basis. In my opinion, such form is esthetically expressive and memorable.

The station structure is modular; it is easy to manipulate - to increase additional modules, to unite several stations in a colony, to convert modules etc.

The station is supposed to be built in space as a construction set from separate elements of the module, delivered from the earth, assembled on a frame. The form of habitable and scientific modules has a trapezoid form in a section. Other modules have the cylindrical form and the form of an equilateral triangle. Designing the station I followed a principle - «to adapt the environment for the people, not the other way round». 2010. Project for "Design Of Spacecraft Working And Living Environments" competition. 3rd place Thanks for watching!
