A habitation module that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the habitation module includes a stationary structure and a rotating structure. The stationary structure includes circular side walls that are coaxially aligned and attached by one or more support beams. The rotating structure slides onto the stationary structure, and rotates about an axis in relation to the stationary structure. The rotating structure includes a cylindrical hub, and a plurality of gravity chambers that are permanently affixed to the cylindrical hub and project radially from the axis. Radial seals form an air-tight seal between the rotating structure and the stationary structure.
