Earlier artificial-gravity designs revealed critical weaknesses. Nautilus-X, for example, relied on a rotating torus connected to a central corridor by a single passage. If that connection failed, ...

Russia has quietly taken a bold step toward solving one of spaceflight’s oldest problems by patenting a space station design that could generate its own gravity-like pull. The concept, which arrives ...
