Technical: Navigation and Orientation Center Telescopes in planetarium for looking at the stars and pivot a telescope with mirrors, that comes out of the ship as a telescope of a submarine. Also, Gyroscopes for orientation by looking at the stars: spaceship has tiny telescopes to find the star so that to rotate the ship once it finds the reference star. Outside information about navigation can become from control center like Houston or magnetic field – but telescopes give information easier Leisure like Music auditorium and entertainment, Exhibition for art, photography, Spirituality: yoga, meditation and prayer space, Health and medicine, Physical needs: recreational activities, sports, cycling, pool, Psychological needs like counselling and culture like poetry Kitchen, Sleeping area and relaxation, Meeting rooms,Deposit cargo

Capacity Calculation Dodecahedron edge length a=70m

Area

Volume

V = 2.62845 x106

Inradius Height = 2xRi

Height = 77.9461 x 2 = 155.8922

According to Gerard Kitchen O'Neill, the American space activist who proposed design of a space colony, population density without getting crowded is approx. 5900 people per km 2. Area of the constellation of dodecahedrons, for a side of 70m = 101164 m 2 x 13 = 1315132 m2 = 1,315132 km2. If 5900 people density can populate 1km2, then 1,315132 km2 can be populated by 7759 people. Therefore, approximately 7000 people can inhabit the settlement in the phase 1, considering a dodecahedron with edge length of 70m.
