If you want me to sketch this up, let's summarize all values here:
Overall
Silhouette: dumbbell - two spheres on either side of central core with rings
Length: 3km
Spheres:
Diameter: 1km
Inner compartments: spheres?
Number: 9?
Inner sphere diameter: 366m?
Backbone:
Length: 1km?**
Diameter: ?
Rings:
Number: 6
Major Diameter: 500m
Minor Diameter: 64m x ~20m?
Gap: 5m
Total length of rings: 6x (width+gap) = 410m**
Cross-sectional Shape: (rectangle? circle?)
Number of spokes: ?
Secondary structures (baby spokes/guywires)?
** note the rings only take up 410m, if the backbone is 1km long - that's 590m of naked backboneDrive:
Location: Backbone? Aft sphere?
Exposure: just the exhaust nozzle?This doesn't look like what I was expecting. Did I get the ring specs wrong?
