Another module, numero 12.

The Island has to be finished by next weekend.

I will not succeed in that but I'll try anyway.

Ardun Observatory consists of 7 modules for easy construction and rearrangement

The Wentian module was successfully launched on July 24, 2022 with the Long March 5B rocket.

Over the past few days at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers have connected the third European Service Module to the Crew Module Adapter, forming the complete Service Module which will propel Orion towards the Moon and provide oxygen and water for astronauts during the Artemis III mission.

 

This assembly process involved carefully suspending the Crew Module Adapter while lifting the European Service Module very slowly, stopping regularly to check the alignment using precise laser measurements. The European Service Module is placed on a mobile platform that allows engineers to accurately move the precious module with six degrees of freedom – x, y, z and three rotations – to ensure an exact alignment. Once the modules are ready to be fastened, engineers install 192 screws one by one all around the modules. Some of these fastenings are particularly challenging to reach, requiring special precautions like foil to prevents parts from falling into the module underneath.

 

Now that the modules are connected, the next steps in the journey to Artemis III include welding operations to connect the systems that will provide breathable air, water and temperature inside the spacecraft and testing that these systems are leak-proof and securely connected. Next year, the Crew Module and solar array wings will be attached to the Service Module, forming the complete Orion spacecraft.

Modules of the BepiColombo spacecraft, which will be on public view during the Sunday 4 October Open Day of ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands.

 

This is the actual flight hardware, set to begin its seven-year cruise phase to Mercury with the rest of the BepiColombo spacecraft in January 2017.

 

Europe’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter is seen atop its carrier vehicle, the Mercury Transfer Module, tasked with reaching the vicinity of the innermost planet.

 

Not seen here is Japan’s Mercury Magnetosphere Orbiter, which will sit on top to complete the BepiColombo ‘stack’.

 

Japan’s craft will enter a highly elliptical orbit to study the planet’s enigmatically strong magnetic field, while ESA’s will go into an approximately 400 x 1500 km mapping orbit around Mercury.

 

BepiColombo is currently in ESTEC’s test centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the largest spacecraft testing facility in Europe.

 

For your chance to see it for yourself, register to come to the ESTEC Open Day.

This is the 3rd module (of 6 currently built) that is part of my JunkTown MOC. This is a bit of a Junk Yard

Megan était installée dans la Cupola quand la caméra 360 ISSexperience, fixée au bout du bras robotique, est venue jeter un œil à l’intérieur. Ça m’a rappelé mon dernier entraînement sous-marin avec la NASA : parfois les poissons sont attirés par la lumière des hublots, souvent la seule source lumineuse environnante. Ça doit être une sorte de divertissement pour eux, un peu comme quand on visite un aquarium, sauf que dans ce cas c’est nous qui sommes à l’intérieur ! 🐟

 

Megan was in the Cupola when the 360 camera ISSexperience, perched at the end of the robotic arm, decided to come peek inside the ISS. It reminded me of a NASA underwater training mission, when all the fish came at night to look inside our deep sea habitat, which was the only light in the area, so it was entertainment for them: we were the aquarium!! 🐟

Work in progress of my next MOC. A aerial transporter of modular containers

Return To Schloss Ferkelstein - coming soon

This is another simple module/model. To make the leaf module, refer to the diagrams for "Don't Leaf Me Now'. Instead of pleating the bottom 1/3 of the paper, pleat the bottom half and then [in step 3], simply add in a book fold and narrow up the extra layers to form the stem of the leaf. The locking the modules requires unfolding, inserting and then re-folding of the stem. You need to work this out yourself but if you cannot, then just cheat by using a dab of gluey stuff.

I found this picture of the cybercity module I threw together for Bricks By the Bay last April, and realized I never posted it. In the vacant area on the right was a trash lot (at the show).

 

Also I know I haven't posted anything in a long time. These last few months have been pretty packed and stressful, which I'll be sure to explain in about a month. I do have two new MOCs essentially finished and awaiting photography, which should happen in the next week!

so, this is my next project: a modular microscale Space Base on Mars.

Module 1 seen from the front.

find more pics in the Mars Base set.

A few more empty modules to show their variety. The first three are examples of "top" modules that have a landscape or roof built in; nothing is expected to stack onto them obviously. The bottom right is the base of the Tower; for this I wanted extra stability so I built the bottom module full width and part of the base (in the other sections the bottom base separates).

Down-Sun photograph of the Lunar Module from the rim of Little West Crater. We can see Neil Armstrong's shadow and the shadow of the Gold camera. This frame gives us a feeling for elevation of the rim. When he took this picture, Neil was clearly standing above the level of the Lunar Module footpads. Note the darkened tracks leading leftward to the EASEP deployment area and rightward to the TV camera.

Landscape module for LUG train layout

Lego Classic Space SHIP, the module with the arms are meant to help the truck load rocks for the scientists. They retract into the ship when not in use. The truck in the garage is a basic rock space hauler. I rigged up the klaxon sound brick to the rolling garage doors. When opened all the way it triggers the sound brick.

 

I have been building small houses to get an Idea of how the town layout will connect to the Islands' geography.

As expected modifications are needed.

 

There's actually nothing left of the old

Module 19. I basically just built a new one.

The base needed to be a lot higher (around 8 bricks high now). Also the Islands' smooth coastline will evolve into a rough one with more reliëf and capes.

Lego Mini castle Modules - village (on cuusoo ~ lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/50233 )

A well done 'diorama' of a 1962 Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) model on a simulated lunar surface, right around the time that Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR) was formally announced by NASA as the method by which Astronauts would reach the moon. The design, which I believe was internal to NASA, pre-dated Grumman being awarded the LEM contract.

 

For whatever it's worth, per very knowledgeable user "Skybolt" at the Secret Projects website/forum:

 

"This [is] the final internal NASA LEM concept for the July 24th 1962 Lunar Excursion Module Statement of Work”, at:

Landscape module for LUG train layout

Sjøhus, (sea houses, litterally translated) are industrial buildings from the times when boats were the only efficient way of transport. These cladded, timber frame buildings were used for all kinds of purposes connected to trade and fisheries on the Norwegian coast. The typical protruding part of the gable (vindehus) is protecting the hoist mechanism. Herring (sild) fisheries were so important for the earlier economic growth on the western coast it was the obvious choice for an advert on the wall.

MILS module: BTM with a small lake

The local train LUG's layout is always a hit! Kids can operate the crane in the busy freightyard, light up the tree in front of the main station, or drive a classic steam train in front of the frozen waterfall.

One of the 'rocky coast' modules.

10 done, 10 more to go.

I am not going to make it :S

But I'll try anyway.

“Boilerplate No. 14 Command Module on fifth level of H14-124 GSE (Ground Support Equipment) systems integration workstand Apollo Systems Integration and Checkout Facility, showing view through main access hatch of main display panel and Systems Manager’s couch. At left is seen the break-out box panel for systems checkout.”

 

Likely, originally a 1964 North American Aviation (NAA) documentation photograph taken at its Downey, California manufacturing plant.

Note the Block I capsule 'vertical' configuration of the pitch reaction control system thrusters directly above the hatch.

And, apparently the ‘Systems Manager” couch, aka Command Module Pilot (CMP) couch, is the only seating installed.

 

Per the “APOLLO SPACECRAFT FAMILIARIZATION MANUAL SM2A-02, dated 30 APRIL 1965, which is full of FANTASTIC Apollo Command Module information. DAMN:

 

BOILERPLATE 14/”HOUSE SPACECRAFT 1” resided at the North American Aviation (NAA) manufacturing plant in Downey, California. The boilerplate’s ‘purpose’ being a “developmental tool for use in developing spacecraft systems and preliminary checks in integrated systems compatibility.” Its ‘mission’ was as a “research and developmental tool for systems evaluation (static vehicle).” Awesome.

Who knew?!

Did you?

I didn’t!

One of the two 8 wide corner modules to create an alley between two modular buildings. The fences prevent cars from entering the alley.

Have no idea if it works yet, but proud to have completed my first kit nonetheless., First kit-built Eurorack module: a Synthrotek ADSR. Have no idea whether it works yet

iss070e102646 (Feb. 27, 2024) --- JAXA's (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) free-flying robotic camera, also known as the JEM (Japanese Experiment Module) Internal Ball Camera 2, is pictured during a technology demonstration inside the Kibo laboratory module. The Internal Ball Camera 2 is being tested for its ability to autonomously maneuver and navigate aboard the International Space Station while photographing and videotaping crew activities.

U-BOOT TYP VII C - 1/38 (minifig) scale with full interior.

  

~ 177 CM (~70 INCH) LONG

~ 15.000 PARTS

~ 4.5 YEARS OF WORK

  

GOALS

 

The model was supposed to represent a ship from the initial period of the war.

It does not show a specific copy, but it should resemble uboots such as U-69 or U-96 (known from the classic Das Boot movie).

I wanted to get a fairly good representation of both the curves of the hull and as many pieces of internal equipment as possible.

  

MODEL CHARACTERISTICS

 

It consists of 6 modules that naturally represent the 6 sections of a real ship:

 

1. The forward torpedo room and crew compartment [Bow: ~ 3600 parts]

2. Officers', radio and listening room [Front mess: ~ 2000 parts]

3. Control room with conning tower [Control room: ~ 2700 parts]

4. Petty Officers' romm and galley [Rear mess: ~ 1700 parts]

5. Diesel engines room [Diesels: ~ 2400 parts]

6. Electric engines and aft torpedo room [Stern: ~ 2800 parts]

  

In each module, the port and / or starboard can be removed.

So the entire model can represent the ship from the outside or with an open interior.

The target configuration is with the starboard closed and the port open.

 

I finally made two photo sessions of the entire model - in a fully closed configuration and with a closed starboard and open port side.

 

Adittionally I have prepared presentation of individual modules separately.

  

[b][CONSTRUCTION][/b]

 

The construction was planned to be made in sections and I started from the control room.

Each module was first designed in LDD (first the hull, then the interior) and then built in reality.

 

The modules were created in this order:

3. Control room

2. Front mess

1. Bow

4. Rear mess

5. Diesels

6. Stern

 

Designing started on 26.12.2017.

I invite you to view photos.

I'm sorry that there are so many, but I couldn't resist.

(it took me about 3 months to photograph and post-process them)
