I haven't exactly written a space agency page, but mine is planned to be about as good as any communist country's can be, so I'd love to contribute a module if possible.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Another IC reasons why AM would be interested in this sort of structure is basically this.

so here's a crude structural drawing I've made, as you can see it's not going to be as large as the ISS because, well, we aren't the US, Russia, Japan, etc.
There's 4 modules that need to go up, including the central ball which could go up attached to one of the main wings. Does this seem appropriate for everyone? Corindia can use another fraternite module for the habitation module, and it looks like AM and Townside can do all or part of the right module.

Sure, the upper and lower modules are still unaccounted for if you want to all or part of one of them!

I think it's great that the space station is not as large as the ISS. As such, I think me and good old Athara Magarat can together manage all of the "Hope" module (right module, name subject to approval), which I assume is a toned down version of Kibo due to the smallness of our space station.
Also, nice crude drawing! I like how the space station is looking so far.

I think CU's involvement would be better for everyone. I will talk to my fellow CU members about this (it's been inactive for long; were going to involve it somewhere). I like the art as well

So I don't quite know how all this works, would it be possible to put a deep space observation module up there with small-scale radio/microwave monitors or telescopes up there since it's outside of Earth's atmosphere? It'd be the size of the other regular modules.

Of all the organisations you could have dragged in, you choose the evilEuropeanCooperative Union? Unacceptable.
To be fair though, the extra money and resources would be welcome.
However, Townisde is not a member of the CU, so all I ask is that if the CU gets involved, it would be a CU-Townisde joint venture, not a CU project with bits of Townisde sprinkled into it. I'm a glory hound, I want MUH RECOGNITION!

that's pretty much what the right module as well as the truss on the back (which I think will require a fifth launch, albeit a smaller one) would consist of

Corindia wrote:we really don't need more launch capacity as much as we need the structure itself. If you want to do the exterior truss that would be super helpful!

So would you rather I make the module and ship it to Corindia or just make the module and launch it myself? Just to be sure.
Also, would I be able to send up a cosmonaut to maintain the module or no?

Oh, and how many docking ports that will this station supports? By the way, those solar panels are not enough, we also need radiators, huge ones.

As long as people are contributing to modules I'm happy! it doesn't matter who sends it up, we'll just have no shortage of ways to do so
And the crew is going to be on some sort of rotation of mixed-national astronaut teams, it's something we'll have to work out OOC and maybe by IC treaties

Alright, dope! Is it alright if I make a news post debuting a nonworking mock-up of the module at a science fair or should this be under wraps for now?
