Which comes to about 1/6 g.
The other reason Lab ships might look like that
- Thread starter rinku
- Start date
Thats not optimal, but helpful for longer voyages.
The RPM would still be a problem, but possibly treatable with drugs. I dont know enough about the biology or pharmacology to know if you could treat it on a semi-permanent basis without causing other problems.
And im sure there would be those who dont respond well at all, like people who are sea sick no matter what they take. I went on a deep sea fishing trip with big swells, took my dramamine but still got sick. There were these old bastards on the back deck having a grand ol time as the wind blew the diesel fumes back on them. None of the were affected teddy while I fed the fish my breakfast a few times.

Outside of spacestations, it might be a concept that has to be let go for spacecraft.
Given the grew were picked astronauts, I'm good with those particular guys plus meds being enough to cope, even if this isn't a setup that would work for most.
It's also just possible that the spin gravity was there not primarily for the awake crew, but because the hibernation units needed (or worked better in) gravity.
Gravity pods at the end of rotating booms might be the best option. Especially if the booms are fixed and the whole ship is spun, since that's mechanically simpler.

The lab ship still has grav plates though. You can just turn them off in the labs where the low-gravity work is happening without messing up the rest of the ship. It has no need to spin at all. I don't think the ship has to spin when manoeuvring.
You could also put a particle accelerator in the ring to conduct particle impact experimentation.
It's really just stylistic (and that isn't an invalid reason to make a ship that shape).

1. Rendezvous With DRama.
2. Robot assisted piloting.
3. Depends on actual rotation per minute.
