One possibility would be to rotate the entire pressure hull, or all of the vehicle except those items which must be stationary e.g. Earth-facing antenna, solar panels, star trackers, etc.. Another option might be to enclose the centrifuge in the pressure vessel, such as the depicted "Discovery" in "2001: A Space Odyssey". | |
