![]() ![]() ![]() I would avoid connecting more than 2 modules for simplicity and stability not quite the same "three body problem" as The Three Body Problem but more than two is unstable whilst a pair should be inherently stable. ![]() I don't know how very low temperatures effect tensile strength cables may need heating. Paired tubes would allow a circulating air flow between the modules. I suggest tensile tubes to connect them rather than cables - or tubes in addition to cables they would allow air filled access between them. Probably handle higher accelerations along the line of axis but maybe only lower accelerations when skewed. No reason tether-paired modules/ships cannot be accelerated and decelerated in most directions whilst twirling - easiest in line with axis of course but tracking, synchronized drives should manage all but perpendicular to axis - the rolling mode. I think Heinlein may have paired two ships like that in one of his stories (Space Family Stone maybe?). Click to expand.I think this would be the simplest solution. ![]()
