Suspended above the viewing deck of the OSS Hope experience, this four-metre model depicts the museum's fictional kilometre-wide solar space station as it would appear in orbit in 2071. Built to 1:400 scale from roughly a tonne of aluminium and around 3,000 hand-painted 3D-printed parts, its rings rotate on motors to evoke the spin that would generate artificial gravity aboard the station. The centrepiece of the museum's opening chapter, it anchors a narrative of space not as escape but as infrastructure for a sustainable Earth.
