P4 4 Ceresian Spin Station

Abstract

This paper investigates the feasibility of creating a station on Ceres, as seen in the book series
‘The Expanse’. We calculate the required kinetic energy change of 2.4e+26 J to achieve a spin
gravity of 0.3g on the surface of the dwarf planet, and explore how an advanced civilization might
acquire such energy, along with the associated complications.
