rotating space habitats

Rotating space habitats are large, artificial environments designed to simulate Earth's gravity through centrifugal force created by rotation. By spinning, they make the interior feel like a ground-level environment, allowing residents to walk and work normally. These habitats often resemble massive stations or cylinders, providing living space, agriculture, and leisure areas. The rotation rate is carefully calculated to generate a comfortable gravity level, helping astronauts stay healthy during long-term space missions. This concept aims to support human life beyond Earth, enabling sustainable space living and exploration.
