“This artist concept of the permanently manned Space Station focuses in on the pressurized modules where crews will work and live. Four modules, two provided by the U.S. and one each attached to the horizontal transverse boom. Resource nodes that house the distributed subsystems as well as command and control stations connect the laboratory and habitation modules together. Two crewmen inside the cupola atop the right-hand resource node control the Canadian provided Space Station co-orbiting platform flies in tandem with the manned base. An orbital maneuvering vehicle is shown flying out toward the platform where it will rendezvous with the platform, attach itself and bring the platform back to the manned base for servicing. At the bottom of the photo, a Space Shuttle Orbiter prepares to berth with the manned base.”
Other than a couple of wonky sentences, that’s the kind of information I want regarding an image. Something that attempts to describe/put in context what I’m looking at, NOT the vague, all too often ignorant “bigger picture”, i.e., useless stuff. A commendable attempt.
Although I'm inclined to think this is by Ted Brown, based on an image of this station configuration, from another perspective, and at a different stage of construction, but with a very similar artistic style, I'm going to leave the door open to Mr. Wallace Farr, MSFC graphic illustrator. Regardless, thank you for your service Brother, continue to Rest In Peace:
