"SATURN I TYPE ORL EVOLUTION"
Sure, clear as mud. 😉
So, basically, just the elimination of the S-IV, Gemini-type, Apollo-X & Modular concepts. However, the MORL depicted incorporates Gemini ferry/logistics? craft.
And, although the ‘Modular’ concept looks familiar, it’s as a segment of a much larger space station. I’ve never associated it with, or seen it referenced as part of the ‘ORL’ family. I thought it was a Lockheed thing from the early 1960s, beautifully depicted by Ludwik Źiemba.

An overhead view of the Skylab Orbital Workshop in Earth orbit as photographed from the Skylab 4 Command and Service Modules (CSM) during the final fly-around by the CSM before returning home. The space station is contrasted against the pale blue Earth. During launch on May 14, 1973, some 63 seconds into flight, the micrometeor shield on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) experienced a failure that caused it to be caught up in the supersonic air flow during ascent. This ripped the shield from the OWS and damaged the tie downs that secured one of the solar array systems. Complete loss of one of the solar arrays happened at 593 seconds when the exhaust plume from the S-II's separation rockets impacted the partially deployed solar array system. Without the micrometeoroid shield that was to protect against solar heating as well, temperatures inside the OWS rose to 126 degrees fahrenheit. The gold "parasol" clearly visible in the photo, was designed to replace the missing micrometeoroid shield, protecting the workshop against solar heating. The replacement solar shield was deployed by the Skylab I crew. This enabled the Skylab Orbital Workshop to fulfill all its mission objects serving as home to additional crews before being deorbited in 1978. Skylab fell back to Earth on July 11, 1979.

The area around Mount Mee was known to the indigenous inhabitants of the area as Dahmongah, a word meaning "flying squirrel" or glider.
On this day, the ISS was the fastest "glider" to have ever crossed over Mount Mee!!

“SPACE STATION DUAL KEEL CONCEPT --- The design of the Space Station has undergone the first major configuration change prior to the start of Phase B. The artist’s concept here depicts the updated Dual Keel method which retains many of the basic elements of the previously considered Power Tower concept. The primary difference is the move to favor two vertical booms rather than the Power Tower’s single boom. The dual booms provide additional framework for the attachment of other structures. Pressurized modules have also been moved from the lower area of the Power Tower concept to the Center of gravity. This has been done, NASA officials say, to meet the needs of future space station customers for the best microgravity environment attainable. More refinements are expected in the design as the program works toward the Systems Requirements Review in March of 1986.
pg. 47”
Not as much stuff going on as in the preceding(?) stage of construction (linked to below). Although, the twin/opposing solar dynamic power stations have been replaced by two complete solar array pairs; the radiators have been repositioned; a large circular communications(?) antenna has been installed at one end of the dual keels, along with the addition of three more large box-like modules at the other end, and several smaller (both cylindrical & rectangular) experiment packages(?) Interestingly, still only one RMS is visible…again apparently about to grapple something in the payload bay of the orbiter. Lastly, nobody is conducting an EVA.
Possibly/apparently featured on page 47 of one of the myriad documents generated by lots of folks on what the space station could/should/would be capable of, and what it might look like as a result.

Most importantly, I think it's yet another beautiful work by Ted Brown.
Here is another "outtake." You can barely see the woman adjusting the baby stroller, with a tiny glimpse of her "star child" by the back of the red chair. The exhibit had attracted women, children, filmmakers born long after "2001" came out, and serious film scholars, not just young males and fanboys. "2001" changed both the way we saw films and the way films would be made afterwards.

The second Space Station pass of May 28/29, 2016, at 1:40 a.m., with cloud moving in adding the glows to all the stars. Taken with the 8mm fish-eye lens from home. The Big Dipper is high in the west at right. Mars is bright at bottom, to the south. Several other satellites are in the sky as well.
This is a stack of 3 exposures, each 2.5-minutes with the camera on the Star Adventurer tracker.
Major Gateway hardware recently crossed an important testing milestone on its path to launch to the Moon, where it will support new science and house astronauts in lunar orbit.
Gateway’s HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) successfully completed static load testing, a rigorous stress test of how well the structure responds to the forces encountered in deep space. Thales Alenia Space, subcontractor to Northrop Grumman, conducted the testing in Turin, Italy. Static load testing is one of the major environmental stress tests HALO will undergo, and once all phases of testing are complete, the module will be ready to move from Italy to Gilbert, Arizona, where Northrop Grumman will complete final outfitting.
Gateway space station’s Habitation and Logistics Outpost has successfully completed static load testing in Turin, Italy. With this phase of stress testing complete, the module is one step closer to final outfitting ahead of launch to lunar orbit.
In this image, Gateway’s Habitation and Logistics Outpost stands vertically inside a Thales Alenia Space facility in Turin, Italy, after completing static load testing.

After all those works, the space station needs a clean-up. Luckily Mr. Robot has also a maid mode and Benny activates it without a second thought.
The noise of the super vacuum cleaners attracted some Blips that now are playing around happily. But... is it safe?!

In NASA terminology, LEO stands for Low Earth Orbit, which is the orbital range closest to Earth, typically between 99 and 1,200 miles (160 to 2,000 kilometers) above the planet's surface. NASA uses LEO for human spaceflight (like the International Space Station), scientific research, and the development of technologies for deep space exploration, while also fostering a future commercial LEO economy.
Today, I come across the MSN news that per month there are about 2K LEO Debris due, above our Space. We need to take these seriously before it is too late!!
This view of the Skylab Orbital Space Station was taken from the Skylab 2 Command/Service Module during it's initial fly around inspection. The micrometeoroid shield can be seen to be missing and a parasol solar shield was later fitted in its place. The damaged and partially deployed solar array, in the center of the scene, can be seen to be restrained by a strap that was later cut during an early EVA, allowing the panel to fully deploy.

“A depiction of a permanent space operations center that has been freighted piecemeal into low Earth orbit by the Shuttle and assembled by astronauts. The two joined cylinders contain living quarters and a laboratory. Below the cylinders, the service modules supply electrical power, communications, a docking berth, guidance and control instruments and life-support systems, such as air and water. When in operation, the eight-person center will function as the base for a host of space programs to improve the quality of life on Earth. In time, the center could lead to the development of larger stations, which could be used to fabricate mammoth solar power satellites in far space requiring 500-man building crews.

Kentron International…I’d never heard of them. Apparently, owned by Dallas-based LTV Corporation. Kentron was subsequently sold to private investors in 1982, who in turn sold it to Planning Research Corp. in 1985…whoever they are/were.
My entry to the 2018 Bio-Cup Round 1. Theme for this round is fusion, and the theme for me was Blacktron/M-Tron.
The walkers are large, rhino-like space animals that have been heavily modified by Blacktron to carry out various tasks, in this case land-based military duties.
I was thinking about building a more "traditional" Blacktron mech or spaceship, but that didn't sound very original so I thought wouldn't it be cool to build an animal with spacestation on it's back?

The Waxing Gibbous Moon met the International Space Station, at least that's what it looked like from near the Sebastian Inlet Tuesday night.
A mere 438km away, the Space Station flew across the face of the Moon in just over a half a second (.59, to be exact). This is the first time I've shot stills of a Lunar Transit (aka "spray and pray"), and I managed to capture the ISS in 4 frames, shown here in a 4-shot composite. It was breezy, chilly, and the Moon was quite high in the sky. Considering how much the lens was moving around in the breeze, I was uncertain I'd capture anything, but at least one of the frames is pretty sharp.
Also, I was shooting with the always-talented John Kraus / John Kraus Photos and Marcus Cote / Marcus Cote Photography, both of whom got great shots. Go check them out.

PictionID:46905736 - Catalog:Bono_0205 - Title:Bono McDonnell Douglas slide presentation scans - Filename:Bono_0205.tif - Philip Bono was a renowned space engineer who was probably 30 years before his time. He was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 13, 1921. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1947 with a B.E. degree in mechanical engineering, and served three years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. After graduation in 1947, Mr. Bono worked as a research and systems analyst for North American Aviation. His first "tour" with Douglas Aircraft Company was from 1949 to 1951, doing structural layout and detail design. From 1951 to 1960, he worked primarily in structures design at Boeing. - ---Please Tag these images so that the information can be permanently stored with the digital file.---Repository: San Diego Air and Space Museum
