Design of Space Music Hall as a Module of Low Earth Orbit Space Station

Abstract

In recent years, new space stations in low Earth orbit have been considered and developed by several private companies to replace the International Space Station (ISS). In the future, when more people will stay in orbit for longer periods of time, the following demands are expected to arise: (1) a place for orbiters to relax and unwind, (2) a place for communication, and (3) a place for new cultural activities of humankind. We designed a crewed module in space that functions as a place for cultural activities such as concerts and live performances. In this paper, the feasibility of these facilities is studied and its in-orbit operation planning is also considered.
