A roadway made out of a hard material that is connected in squares. If a repair is needed, you replace the squares instead of the entire roadway. They can be heated through geo thermal so roadway never freezes. No more salt or chemicals.
The aim is to design and develop a smart module that can provide possibilities for usage in personal health and asset monitoring, wearables, and smart homes. The Smart modules will be developed with RSL10-SENSE-GEVK as the core component connected to a custom-made mobile application via BLE for external access, monitoring, and control.
Orbiter mid deck is circular. Its floor has a spheric section curve of very large radius, as if it were a piece of a giant sphere hundreds of feet in diameter. Its imaginary center of revolution is hundreds of feet above.
Deck revolves, rather than rotate as in earlier concepts for artificial gravity spacecraft.
