The rings look a bit like a support struture, only they don't hold anything up; some monorails, only they don't lead anywhere; or a conduit for dust power, only they don't connect to anything.

They do vaguly look like the crappy circluar thingies on the wire antenna of the CRT televisions I had back in the day so some kind of large hadron coms array is the most pluasible speculation right now, but I'm pretty sure Atlas of all places should be able to come up with something that looks more efficent and not like it's about to tip over.

Seriously, why is it at such a weird angle? Being at the north pole, Atlas is more or less the same distance from all the other nations so it shouldn't have to lean one way or the other. Is it articulated? Given that the lower ring intersects with the ground, probably not...
