DISCUSSION
The cover art of DOWNBELOW STATION is by David B. Mattingly. Included in
the preface to the text are sketches of the structure of the space station above
called "Pell." Artificial gravity is present on Pell by virtue of rotation
about the core hub. Additionally, the craft streaming from Pell are
sub-sized space stations which also have rotating structures for induced gravity.
Additionally, the smaller stations possess propulsion systems for
travels about the Universe. To examine the use of rotation to provide artificial gravity
