Technicians at the Airbus facility in Bremen, Germany prepare the European Service Module for shipment to Kennedy Space Center. The service module will depart Germany on November 5, 2018 and will arrive in the U.S. on November 6.
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.

High power color RGBW led driver module. This color module is used as background lighting. There are 4 channels one for each color. The max current is 700 mA/channel when the 4 elco's 4700uF each are charge to the max 19V. Thereafter, the current is kept lower, without limitation in time.
Voltage and power per channel with 4 leds in serie:
Red..... : 9.2V peak power = 6.44W
green : 14.8V peak power = 11.84W
Blue... : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
White : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
Total peak power ............... 37.88W
Input voltage module : 19V from an old laptop power supply.

I spent some hours trying to make two xbee wireless modules
communicate. These will be part of our new flaming doorbell. The
trouble was with my transistor setup for the relay. The modules were
communicating, but the logic was backwards and each time I hit a
button the relay would turn off. I need the opposite behavior
otherwise their would be a 20' flame at all time at our place. I
finally gave up on trying to convince the xbee modules to behave
rationally and just switched to a PNP transistor for the relay.
The configuration for both xbee modules is straight forward (thanks
ladyada for documenting this):
Remote - TX setup (attached to doorbell input button)
- D0 - DIO Configuration - (3 - DI) [data in]
- IC - Dio Change Detect - (FF)
- Set sample rate to 0 (unless you want synchronous updates)
Base - RX setup
- DO - DIO Configuration - (4 DO) [data out low]
- Under I/O Line Passing set "Input Addresses" to 0xFFFF (allow any
radios)
- Set IU - I/O Output enable to Disabled

PCB for Cree 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. Soon there will be another picture where the LEDs are mounted.
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.
High-power color led module. Although a simple print it is still difficult to solder for a man of 71 years old like me! And these LEDs are not cheap, 20 euros each. Each channel of the four LEDs are connected in series. The leds are red,green,bleu and white. This is the backlight which I can adjust the color and brightness. The next print to solder is the driver for this color led module.
This color module is used as background lighting. There are 4 channels one for each color. The max current is 700 mA/channel when the 4 elco's 4700uF each are charge to the max 19V. Thereafter, the current is kept lower, without limitation in time.

green : 14.8V peak power = 11.84W
Blue... : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
White : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
Total peak power ............... 37.88W

6 channel power-led driver module. Each channel drive two high power LEDs 9V. The capacitors provide a high peak current for a certain period of time. After this time, a continued nominal power is used. The peak current is set per channel by a potentiometer. This is 19V- 700 mA per channel. Each channel is driven for a certain time. The light distribution and brightness can be controlled.

Update 14 nov 2014:
Some R values changes for optimal results. PCB is now tested. The total peak power is 80W for 25 ms.
Edited NASA PR diagram for the Ascent and Descent modules of the overall Lunar Module for Project Apollo.
I built this piece based on these instructions. The units are easy enough to make but the construction was a little more challenging for me. I found it easier to view it from the inside and then it built up quickly.
The third (pictured) and fourth European Service Modules are currently in production at Airbus facilities in Bremen, Germany. They are a key element of the Orion spacecraft, the first to return humans to the Moon since the 1970s.
These modules provide the spacecraft with propulsion, power and thermal control, and will supply astronauts with water and oxygen. The Orion spacecraft is composed of a European Service Module, a Crew Module Adapter and a Crew Module. The latter two components are provided by NASA.
Powering flights to the Moon is a collaborative effort. The components and hardware used in the European Service Modules are built and supplied by more than twenty different companies from ten different countries in Europe.
When ready for launch, each module will have a total mass of 13500 kg, almost two-thirds of which is propellant (rocket fuel). More than 11 km of cables are needed to send commands and receive information from the many on-board sensors. As can be seen in the photo, tie-wraps (yellow) come in handy when it comes to keeping all these cables organised.
The first European Service Module is already attached to the Orion spacecraft and awaiting launch for Artemis I later this year. The second European Service Module has been formally transferred to NASA and is completing integration at the Operations and Checkout building at the Kennedy Space Center. It will be used on the Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to fly all the way to the Moon in half a century.
By delivering six European Service Modules, ESA is ensuring NASA’s Artemis programme continues to develop a sustainable presence on and around the Moon in international partnership.

This shows the module tabs implementation on Yahoo!'s front page. The active tab control's text is a different color, and the active tab control is connected to the active pane. The module tabs implementation also maintains the design pattern's metaphor by making it look like the inactive tab controls are farther away from the screen than the active tab - resembling stacked folders.
