Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

Six lunar test articles (LTAs) formed the backbone of Grumman's ground test program of the Apollo lunar module. Bethpage shipped LTA-2 to Huntsville for vibration testing to see if it could withstand launch pressures, and LTA-10 to Tulsa, to check its fit in the adapter. LTA-1 was a "house" spacecraft, used to iron out problems during fabrication, assembly, and checkout. Three more LTAs were under construction: LTA-8 for thermal-vacuum testing in Houston and LTAs 3 and 5 for combined structural shakings, vibrations, and engine firings.
LTA-1 resides at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Long Island, NY.

Module for transporting containers. It an expansion of the Rock Raiders Tunnel Transport 2.0 helicopter.
After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!

I am re-posting this module which was created [discovered] in 1990. The main reason for re-posting this is that I found a more logical way to get that odd angle. The method is quite accurate but I do not think that it is Mathematically correct. The method is best illustrated by the photo diagram. Briefly, it shows the angles [in black] required for 4, 6, 8 modules assembly like stars, and coasters. Those angles radiate from the bottom left corner to the middle crease line. These angles can be easily generated by simple folds. Therefore, in order to get the angle required for a 5 piece assembly, logically, that angle should be in between 4 and 6. Can I logically assume that the bisector [circled and in red] the correct angle? Likewise, for a 7-piece assembly I take the bisector of 6 and 8 to be the correct angle. The interesting part here is that, that angle radiates from the corners to almost the middle of the opposite edge. I have assembled some 7 piece coasters quite accurately with this and will post them in due course. More details of this module was posted in 1993 - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/11003407114/in/datepos...
Led flash module. Inside the opening for the Mitutoyo 10X lens. The 12 power leds are not solderd but connected via 24 x M2 brass screws which press on the led contacts. I can even modify LED types with the same module.
The 12 LEDs are divided into 6 groups. Each time there are two LEDs connected together on the PCB. LEDs shine through the 12 holes of 8mm diameter each. Each group can be controlled separately. The direction and amount of light may be a result set.
The base plate is made of aluminum for cooling. The back of the LEDs have an additional thin special thermal film of 0.2mm in order to have good thermal conductivity. The LEDs can operate continuously at full power.

The pressure vessel was transported in its Crew Module Transportation Fixture by super-wide transport truck from Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. The pressure vessel is Orion's primary structure that holds the pressurized atmosphere astronauts will breathe and work in while in the vacuum of deep space. Photo credit: NASA/Frank Michaux
A module for a planned micropolis skyscraper. Not exactly something unique or fancy pancy, but less waste of parts, compared to my other similar builds. There is still room for improvement, but I have chosen parts that I have plenty of. At first I used a technic brick 6x8 instead of regular 1x8 bricks. It is a bit sturdier, but I do not want a rectangular section. They are probably unnecessary anyway.
It is somewhat influenced by Max Braun's supertall - Weiss Tower. I often use grille tiles as windows, but two-by-two in the corners is new to me. I generally prefer 1x1, but then I have horizontal plates outermost in the facade. Now I want a tall, modular tower with a cleaner look and fewer parts. The curtain wall will cover every side, with either a plate 6x12 or 6x24, covered with grille tiles. I usually place the curtain wall half a plate from the outer edge, but here it is flush with the corners.
Part list:
12x Plate 1x1, 3024
2x Plate 1x6, 3666
4x Plate 1x8, 3460
1x Plate 8x8, 41539
4x Plate 6x12, 3028
8x Brick 2x2x3, 30145
16x Brick 2x2 Corner, 2357
4x Brick 1x8, 3008
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2 Inverted, 99780
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2, 99781
144x Tile, Modified 1x2 Grille, 2412
this is where i will be hanging the world's longest marblechute during the next 6 weeks for the grand opening of planet modulor on the 30th of september.

Today I saw this model it attracted me much to fold,But my paper is worst.
Francis Ow is one of the best modular designer in the world,and also one of my most Respectable person,He is so kind,but I never met him.
This is the type of vehicle used to land on the lunar surface by astronauts in the Apollo missions to the Moon. The one on display in the National Air and Space Museum is a real lander whose mission was canceled. The lower halves of six of these vehicles are still sitting on the lunar surface. The upper halves carried the astronauts back to their command module for return home. A lunar lander like this was seen in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."

I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.

The LM was built by Grumman Aircraft and designed by aerospace engineer Thomas J. Kelly. It was comprised of an octagon-shaped descent stage with landing gear and an irregular-shaped ascent stage that contained the instrument panels and flight controls. The ascent and descent stages measured a combined 18 feet in height (22 feet with the antennas), 14 feet in width and 13.3 feet in depth. Early versions had three landing legs, large windows, seats, and a forward docking port. The three-leg configuration was light but unstable, therefore, a four-leg solution was chosen. The large windows, seats, and additional docking port were removed. Crew in the LM would stand and have smaller viewports for piloting. The removal of the docking port meant that the lunar orbit rendezvous was in the hands of the Command Module Pilot.
The shape and size of the LM was difficult to capture accurately at minifig scale. The limited size and variety of the Lego blocks available posed a challenge to accurately render the complex shapes of the LM.

The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), also called Kounotori (こうのとり Kōnotori, "Oriental Stork" or "White Stork"), is an unmanned resupply spacecraft used to resupply the Kibō Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) and the International Space Station (ISS).
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been working on the design since the early 1990s. The first mission, HTV-1, was originally intended to be launched in 2001. It launched at 17:01 UTC on 10 September 2009 on an H-IIB launch vehicle.
The name Kounotori was chosen for the HTV by JAXA because "a white stork carries an image of conveying an important thing (a baby, happiness, and other joyful things), therefore, it precisely expresses the HTV's mission to transport essential materials to the ISS".

A titanium deployment and downlock truss from the landing gear of the lunar module beckons in the corner…
But the autopilot brain-in-a-box is much more interesting.
It's a core memory module from a Saturn LVDC (Launch Vehicle Digital Computer). They are quite rare as scrap dealers recover $20-30K of gold and platinum from these cores. (more photos from the spaceaholic source of this). The outer wrap consists of timing, drive, inhibit and sensing circuits.
More interesting still is the ghost in the machine. The magnetic cores within still hold whatever program they had when powered down. Since there are no tapes or archives of the code, it is possible that the only remaining copy of the Saturn V flight program is in cores like this. I have the load/write boards, and they look very wonky. If you know of any living domain expert on this system, please point them my way.
This module stores 106k bits (4096 words of 26 bits, 28 with 2 parity bits, across 14 planes with a 128 x 64 fabric of ferrite donuts)... encoding 26-bit instructions, with the first triple-redundant logic. Ultrasonic delay line cache. Destructive readouts. Failure is not an option.
And one is a Tabletop Crawfish Support Module. Our pond scum expedition netted (literally, heh) a tiny crawfish. We'll see what happens.
