RE: International Space Station comes together piece by piece....


Look at what happened from 1998 until 2008. In just ten years it has grown and grown.

Watch the pieces come together as they are sent up from Earth. This is the International Space Station (ISS) Assembly diagram, piece by piece.


I had no idea the Space Station had grown to this size. This is really cool.

What a piece of engineering!!

That is cool Brad and seeing the shuttle in relation to it, I can understand why it is as bright an object when seen in space as the ISS. It will return in my viewing area in the morning of February 19th and remain there through the 25th. It will be out of our view until March 1st, when it will become an evening object in my area. At all times, morning or evening, it is usually an hour before or after sunrise or sunset respectively.

Good find, thanks Brad.
Auckland has a viewing window for both ISS and Shuttle every evening this week.
The very week that the long dry spell has been broken, 8/10 cloud Grr...
 
The "global village" at its best. Multinational teams in a multinational space station.

May the ISS be aloft until kingdom come. :salute:
