Projects of the huge interstellar ships - of colonies. The top project: with the huge water filter ahead. Ring

I scanned these illustrations in 2008 and 2011, from my house library. It is a private collection.

I ask you not to use these illustrations on other sites.​

I have a small book that has many of those exact same pics in them but I'll be darned if I can remember its title or where it is in my house! :'(

These illustrations from French scientifically - popular magazines. 2005 - 2010. On the Internet they aren't present.​

yep.
One of those images was recently featured (january 2010) as a cover art of a Russian popular science article, "Yuni erudit" (young erudit).
This title is the not-litteral translation of French monthly "Science & Vie Junior" (Teenager's Science & Life). The subject of this article, as indicated on the cover if "kasmitcheski diessent : sto let v'paliotie" which roughly translates as "Cosmic journey : 100 year on-board spaceship"..
Enjoy...

As a consequence of my previous post, those so called "modern french projects" do not seem to reflect any position / official study undertaken by the French Space Agency (CNES) on those subjects. I am not a CNES guy but the parketing around these things would be so big that I would got to know that anyway.


Those artworks are just magazine illustrations, not official studies to the utmost best of my knowledge.

Good day, Antigravity!

This cover of the Russian-French magazine you took on a blog "scienseillustrations.mypage.ru"? This blog belongs to my friend -
To the journalist, and to me. On it our magazines are exposed. We-friends. This magazine isn't presented on the Internet.

Our home paper library ( real magazines ). Science & Vie Junior. Young Erudite. In my collection 2005-2011.

This is not a space project rather a science fiction concept as seen in PM and other in the last 30 years and so on....

I agree. These French projects-not secret. But they seldom meet on the Internet. Interesting French space design,
modern space design!

At our forum on this page orbital settlements of the seventieth are presented.

They never were secret. About them wrote children's books and popular magazines of the seventieth. Even in Soviet Union! Unless it is a secret?! Therefore I shouldn't be accused.

I expose rare illustrations.
