After presenting the research (associated with Project F12) at the 2023 International Astronautical Congress in Baku, Azerbaijan, I was notified by the symposium committee that they had recommended my paper for peer review in the journal Acta Astronautica, so I happily initiated the process. Upon receiving feedback from the reviewers, I made a small handful of modifications to the manuscript:
1. Broadened the introduction section to include a general background of space habitat history and evolution.
2. Added explicit language speaking to deployment ratio and mass/weight.
3. Fixed a table that was mislabeled.
4. Minor typographical modifications.
5. Reduced the quantity of subheadings.
The paper has been reformatted according to the standards of the journal Acta Astronautica. The link is available on this page and also the Papers page of this website.
