Station Option B '93

Compared with Space Station Freedom, Option B would have saved some money by starting with half of the original design and grow to full size as the budget permits.

Space Station C3
|
Space Station Option C3. Option C was the most controversial alternative since it represented a radical departure from all previous Space Station plans. It featured a single large 28m long, 7m diameter pressurized "can" that would be launched fully outfitted on a new Shuttle derived heavy-lift booster.

Space Station Fred
|
The most expensive "Option B" design was very similar to the 1991 "Fred" design shown here. Option B would have omitted one truss segment while simplifying some subsystems to save money.
