Living aboard a satellite



Living aboard a satellite
Means living on the moon a satellite of the Earth?
No it’s an artificial satellite
Living on one of them specially designed for living
A concept generated, visualised by me

At a time when satellites are miniaturised to
Nano satellites, shrinking the size mani fold
This is thinking big, visualizing big
A big enough satellite to hold a room for living
With all arrangements for living

A satellite goes round and round the Earth
Making it a mini space station when made livable
Suitable for observations, sky gazing,experiments
Just make it that big with more enough fuel
To counter the constant free fall to Earth

Food making, water, power, cxommunication,
Body, other waste disposal all planned,
Provided to enable round the Earth living
Heavy payload is indeed a challenge
When the satellite is made that much bigger

Yet nothing to dismiss as impossible
Merits examination, planning and trial
If we succeed many more habitat like ones
May come up making it a colony,
That’s living aboard a satellite!
