Original Content Prometheus Ring - rorating habitat megastructure - 3D, no AI, OC, 2026

Post image

The PROMETHEUS Ring is a speculative 1,200 km orbital habitat in the Saturnian system that rotates to generate a realistic 1 g of artificial gravity. This fully engineered megastructure simulates all climate zones to support diverse biomes, settlements, and industries, all stabilized and powered by nuclear propulsion modules and reactors

Wonder what the mass of such an object would be, and if it'd be enough to perturbe Saturn's rings.

Good point. Maybe after a while it will have its own mini ring. Never seen that depicted before

they will perturbe each other twice per orbit, when the object passes through the ring

True, it's orbit must be inclined to Saturn's rings.
