Almost all realized space elements
) (Skylab, Mir, and ISS modules)

Design: standard, simple to design

Launch: many (1 for each module)
Operation: immediate operational capabilities

Installation: easy pre-integration of equipment and

utility systems, can be installed and checked prior to
launch

Materials: have been demonstrated, good structural

integrity and reliability
Engineering: easy integration of windows

Constraints: habitable volume of internal capacity
increased only by adding modules
