📢 Official Announcement
Nova Technologies is opening a live feed of the Nova Technologies Space Station under construction.
A camera is now live at the Earth-Moon Lagrange 5 point.
It holds one fixed view of the station from a distance. The whole structure is in frame — 55 kilometers by 27.5 kilometers of it, taking shape against the dark, with Earth turning at the edge.
A timer in the corner counts down to completion. The feed is live now on LucidNet. It runs until the timer reaches zero.

📢 Official Announcement
Nova Technologies is opening applications for station staff positions aboard the Nova Technologies Space Station.
NOVA TECHNOLOGIES SPACE STATION STAFF RECRUITMENT
Nova Technologies is hiring permanent human staff for the first time in its history.
The Nova Technologies Space Station is the most significant human-built structure ever created. It spans 55 kilometers by 27.5 kilometers at the Earth-Moon Lagrange 5 point.
It houses 135 research zones leased by the world’s most significant scientific institutions and corporations. It serves researchers, scientists, government officials, and civilian visitors from every country on Earth.
The people who work here will be the first human workforce Nova Technologies has ever employed. They will live and work in an environment that has no precedent.
They will serve a community doing work that will shape the next century of human civilization. They will look at Earth from 384,000 kilometers every day they choose to.
Nova Technologies is not looking for people who want a job. It is looking for people who understand what this is and want to be part of it.
EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE
Nova Technologies Space Station positions are offered under two employment categories.
Full-Time Rotation Staff
Full-time rotation staff are the station’s permanent workforce. They live and work on the station for the duration of their active rotation period and return to Earth for a mandatory rest period before resuming.
Full-time rotation staff are employed on a continuous basis. The rest period is part of their employment terms, not a break in employment.
Active rotation options are six months and twelve months. The rotation duration is selected at the time of application and can be changed between rotations subject to operational scheduling and a minimum of two weeks notice before resuming.
Rest period — three months following a six-month rotation. Six months following a twelve-month rotation. The rest period is unpaid but employed status is maintained throughout.
Relief Rotation Staff
Relief rotation staff cover full-time positions during rest periods. They are the station’s coverage workforce that active on the station during any full-time personnel rest periods and on their own rest period when full-time staff return.
Relief rotation staff work the same schedules and the same positions as the full-time staff they cover.
They are not a reduced function category. They are a distinct employment category with the same operational responsibilities as full-time staff during their active coverage period.
Relief rotation compensation is set at half the full-time monetary rate reflecting the shorter cumulative active periods relative to full-time rotation cycles. All non-monetary benefits are identical to full-time staff.
Both categories are employed simultaneously across the full station workforce. Both are Nova Technologies employees. Both are part of the station’s permanent human community in their respective cycles.
WORKING SCHEDULE
Station staff work in one of two sets — Set A or Set B. Both sets are present on the station simultaneously throughout the rotation.
Week One
Set A works — Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Sunday.
Set B works — Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Week Two
Set A works — Monday, Tuesday, Friday.
Set B works — Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
The two-week pattern repeats continuously. Set assignments rotate monthly. A full shuffle of which staff members are in which set occurs every six months.
During off days staff remain on the station and have full access to all station facilities at no cost. Off days are genuine rest days. Emergency operational requirements may require attendance in exceptional circumstances only.
COMPENSATION
Base Salary and Location Premium
Every position carries a combined monthly payment reflecting base salary and location premium. Both are paid at the end of each month of the active rotation.
Rotation Completion Bonus
A lump sum paid at the end of each completed rotation.
Six-month rotation completion bonus is two months combined monthly salary.
Twelve-month rotation completion bonus is four months combined monthly salary.
Relief rotation completion bonuses are half the full-time rate consistent with their compensation structure.
Exact figures for every position, along with position counts, are listed in the Employment Portal.
