It would house up to 18 laboratories and living chambers, and would rotate slowly to simulate the effects of gravity. The crew would be rotated to and from orbit by the re-entry spacecraft attached atop the hub. The re-entry body also would be used to transport supplies to the spacecraft, and return scientific data to earth."
