Class: Manned. Type: Space Station. Destination: Space Station Orbit. Nation: USA. Manufacturer: Huntsville. NASA studied several concepts in the 1980's using the 'wet workshop' approach to the capacious External Tank carried into orbit with every shuttle flight. Despite the incredible logic of this, NASA management never pursued it seriously - seeing it as an irresistible low-cost alternative to their own large modular space station plans.
