Very nicely done. It is amazing what can be done with left over parts.

from what I've heard, for the meantime, while the commercial sector develops their man-rated vehicles, ISS resupply would be taken care of by the ATV, HTV, Progress Ms' and Soyuz TMAs (for crew rotations)

but, SpaceX is planning to fly their Dragon capsule to the station a few months for now... at least there's something new coming up there

Well, as far as I know, the Russians also still plan to launch Nauka, their last big building block to the station later on this year. Nauka roughly looks like Zvezda (same module size and shape based on the good old Salyut) and will be launched on a Proton somewhere in december, if I'm correct. Before Nauka arrives, Pirs will be jettisoned.

I think Nauka looks more like Zarya sir - they used the spare FGB module for it

I sure love to see it go up the station next year!

Oh, bugger. I meant to say Zarya. I always get those two names mixed up...
Good thing to correct me.

**Hans Christian** · #9 08-21-2011, 02:45 AM

don't worry sir, I also used get them mixed up before...
