Question about a selfsustained space station?

Question

a space station, it is like a mini-earth inside it, have animals, plants,etc.

First want to thank everyone who helped me so far.. I will be posting more questions later after i finish the project next week (i will e-mail the ppl that gave me good answers but the ones I couldnt choose as best answer)

There are still things left...... that I need help on

For my spacestation... Can it be just like a dome?? An enclosed dome.. What r the benefits of an enclosed dome.. I know that it can control sunlight/keep oxygen

Also I need to have rooms for things... like what kind of rooms are going to be there in my space station?

also I have to find 6 jobs.. have doctor/scientist/engineer/botanist.. need 2 more
I also need to have trophic levels and biomass for the organisms............

So what organisms should I bring??? can u like list them?

Important!!!

How can I recycle or get rid of the waste????????? I cannot throw it away to space or make it dissapear though.... and cannot have like a super long tube connected to earth :(.........

Answer 1

You absolutely have to recycle most of the waste - compost human and organic waste for sterilization and use as fertilizer and have organisms that will digest in hydrophonic gardens doing oxygen regeneration.
The kind of rooms depends on the method of construction - are you going to foam in place as some people have suggested in the past? Are you going to drag materials up there?
In space, an enclosing dome will be a disaster. It was bad enough for the all glass mess at BioSphere in the Arizona Desert. Most of the surface of the station is going to have to be opaque and covered with sensors, heat distribution radiators, and solar cells. The windows are going to have to be limited in area and heavily insulating - multiple layer -- to reduce conduction losses. You are going to have to be able to control heat loss out and heat gain in by radiation from the sun and to space.
A dome is pretty and cheap to construct for the volume enclosed. It provides virtually no protection from micro meteorites or solar ionizing radiation unless very expensively constructed over its large area. Heat loss on the dark side and heat gain on the sun side would make temperature extremes inside quite bad.
You need to decide whether this station is to be a minimal venture with tight architecture or a generous place with a lot of loose space and how things are going to be arranged before you do the rooms. Small personal spaces with large shared spaces or work spaces that are also living spaces.
If you have never seen Silent Running http://imdb.com/title/tt0067756/plotsummary from 1972, you might make an effort. A highly specialized station.

Answer 2

This has been carried out ,area station orbit the moon , whilst they made landing on the moon ,there become area station, For the gravity , there is different person-friendly the right thank you to create it , Electromagnetic attraction is occasion of that.
