This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
National Air and Space Museum
The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution holds the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world in 14,970.9 m2 of exhibition floor space. It was established in 1946, as the National Air Museum, and opened its main building in 1976. Located in Washington, D.C., United States, it is a center for research into the history and science of aviation and spaceflight, as well as planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics. Almost all space and aircraft on display are originals or backups to the originals.
Apollo 17 Command Module, CSM-114, “America”, built by the Rockwell division of North American Aviation for NASA was launched by Saturn V s/n SA-512.
Designed to carry a crew of three.
On the outbound trip and moon orbit, it was attached to the Service module, the Command module was then detached and used for the return to Earth.
Apollo 17 crew consisted of Eugene Cernan (USN), Ronald Evans (USN) and Harrison “Jack” Schmitt.
Apollo programme years of active operation 1961-1972

This is another simple Module which I recently discovered. Modules from 5 to n can be assembled but the easiest to assemble is 8 Modules. I have not tried out anything more than 8 Modules but from what I see, 16 or more is definitely possible. CP later.
this module has connecable air locks a landing pad with incomming ship and is under seige by a alien creature.
I took inspirtion from Dune and Star Wars for the ground dwelling creature.
The Orion crew and service module stack for Artemis I was lifted out of the Final Assembly and Test (FAST) cell on Monday, November 11. The spacecraft has been stationed in the FAST cell since July 2019 for mating and closeout processing.
The service module and crew module were moved separately into the cell, stacked and connected together for the mission.
After lifting out of the cell, Orion will be attached to a tool called a verticator that rotates the stack from its vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration for transport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, where it will undergo full environmental testing to certify the complete vehicle for flight.
Once the vehicle returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre it will return to the FAST cell for installation of final panels left off for environmental testing purposes and the service module’s four solar arrays.

Top view and underside of the layout module at testing stage. Modratec interlocked signal frame and Wire-In-Tube points drives are installed and operational. Semaphore signals are yet to be fitted, but their control cables are in place. Electrical wiring is set up for DC operation, with the option to convert to DCC - screw terminal blocks allowing easy reassignment of track droppers to the bus. Electromagnetic uncouplers and station lighting are also wired. Now, to test it...

Description:
We design, develop, manufacture and sell variety of monocrystalline modules ranging from 5 W to 290 W in power output, built to general specifications for use in a wide range of on-grid and off-grid residential, commercial, industrial and other solar power generation systems.
To assemble solar modules, we interconnect multiple solar cells by taping and stringing the cells into a desired electrical configuration. The interconnected cells are laid out, laminated in a vacuum, cured by heating and then packaged in a protective light-weight aluminum frame. Once sealed, our solar modules become weatherproofed and are able to withstand high levels of ultraviolet radiation and moisture.
Our 220W series modules conform to IEC61215 and IEC61730 electrical and quality standards. With continuous commitment to research and design, our engineers work every day to improve quality, efficiency and reliability of our modules. Manufactured under ISO9001 and ISO14000 certified conditions, our modules are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions.

The module is actually a 1/2 Windmill Base with colour-change. The top left module [pink] shows the front side while the top right one [blue] shows the reverse side. Below are two modules assembled. 4 modules can be assembled to form a Greek Cross while 3 modules can be assembled to from a cube corner. The modules are folded from 7.5cm square Kami.

OK, one diagram. Each polygon cross module has its own folding sequence to find the right angle. So I would have here enough models to write a book (puuh, let's see).
You can see in this sequence what is important for the modules. The angle, that I need for the octagon, is marked in step 7 (67.5 degrees). The first steps are similar to the folding of a wire frame module. The only difference is step 8. Here I open the pocket of the wire frame modules to get a new pocket and flap for the cross modules. And you have to pay attention that the width of the new flap is equal to the width of the pocket. That is the reason for the steps 5 and 6.
You can influence the size of the opening at the center by changing the starting point of the folding in step 2. Here it is at the center of the bottom line. You can shift it more to the left. You only have to pay attention that it is still a 45 degrees fold.
Btw. just by using the 45 degrees crease in step 2 for the wire frame pocket, you get the square cross module. And If you again bisect the crease of step 3 then you come to the 16er. Are you ready for the 32er ???
The assembly of the modules is similar to the assembly of the square cross modules, only now with 8 modules.
The left of the Octagon Crosses is the finished model from this diagram.
Good luck !!
