Description
Stationed in lunar orbit, there is a ring of automated battle stations, similar in concept to a SSBN nuclear ballistic submarine.This is an explanatory drawing showing the main parts.
They can be delivered with current technology, but are designed to do war against lunar surface installations, making new craters by the way.
They are too far away to launch an undetected attempt to bomb the Earth, but lunar objectives are a more realistic ones.
They need regular human presence for refuel and refurbishment, as it depends on fuel cells instead of voluminous solar panels for energy supply.

Looks like something that can be build in the near future, for a future cold war, or a secret project already buildt under the cover of the Star Wars program.
But the shape of this station, it is a bit ... suggestive not? I bet the common crew of the Space Navy will have all kind of nick-names for these battlestations.

This is all kinds of awesome, very realistic too!

I'm curious about the size, too. The hatches are sealing away nuclear missiles, yet they have handles / bars on them that would suggest a person can actually open them... which would make those very small missiles, if you catch my drift ^_^

I suggest around 18 metres in overal lenght. Maybe the handles are a bit big for a sole man, but I imagine a team of astronauts, a robotic arm or the clamps in a supply capsule.

Ah, so... Very small rockets then, I guess... But hey, advances in technology and all that jazz...

Great idea again. Maybe a scale bar or a human figure to get the scale would be helpful.
