Erectable Torus Manned Space Laboratory

The Erectable Torus Manned Space Laboratory (ETMSL) was a cancelled NASA project in development from 1960 to 1962 to create the first space station using technology from Project Mercury. The station would've been a 24 foot inflated nylon toroid with a crew of up to 6 astronauts that would perform a prolonged stay while spinning to create 1g of artificial…
