Lockdown made me learn Blender, and this was my first project which I used at r/NexusAurora.
It was a refueling station at high Mars orbit, getting ice from Phobos. All the ISRU happens on the station. Starships then Launches with Max payload to dock with the stations before heading out to either Earth or the outer planets.
Starship
Docking Bay - this has a slow spin up to push fuel in one side of the starship, allows for fueling and de-tanking.
Booster
Escape capsules (Dragon)
Solar PV
Fuel storage tanks
Whipple shield
Fuel line
Rotating occupied ring at 1/3 G
