Orbital ring

An orbital ring is a concept of an artificial ring placed around a body and set rotating at such a rate that the apparent centrifugal force is large enough to counteract the force of gravity. For the Earth, the required speed is on the order of 10 km/sec,[citation needed] compared to a typical low Earth orbit orbital speed of 7.9 km/sec. The structure is…
