(from the Doug Trumbull collection)
DougTrumbull- The models in 2001 are probably the most precisely detailed ever constructed for a film. As soon as the overall design was completed on each model, construction was begun to produce the basic form of that spacecraft, and this process often took several months. Then the arduous task of detailing and painting the model would begin. Massive crews of model detailers worked around the clock for several more months to produce the finished results. Basic construction was of wood, fiberglass, plexiglass, steel, brass, and aluminum. The fine detailing was made up of specially heat-formed plastic cladding, flexible metal foils of different textures and thicknesses, wire, tubing, and thousands of tiny parts carefully selected from hundreds of every conceivable kind of plastic model kit, from boxcars and battleships to airplanes and Gemini spacecraft. A delegation from the production was sent to an international model exhibition in Germany to select the best kits available.
Every minute facet of each model had to be perfect, so that photography would not be restricted in any way, and during shooting the cameras came relentlessly close with no loss of detail or believability.
Each spacecraft was built to a scale which best suited that particular model, without any particular regard to scale relationship between models. Only the Discovery spacecraft and the pod were on the same scale, since they had to work so closely together. Very tricky calculating had to be done for the approach of the Orion spacecraft to the space station because both models couldn’t be built to the same scale. Roughly, the Orion was three feet long, the space station eight feet in diameter, the Aries two feet in diameter, the Moon rocket-bus two feet long, and the Discovery fifty-four feet long with a thirteen-inch diameter pod. The main “command module” ball of Discovery was six feet in diameter, and for long shots another complete model of Discovery was built to a length of fifteen feet. All moving parts on the models were motor driven and extremely geared-down since most shooting was at a very slow rate due to the necessity for stopping down to small lens apertures to obtain maximum depth-of-field.
Inside the Space Station Processing Facility high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians prepare the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, payload for final packaging. NICER will be delivered to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo carrier on the company’s 11th commercial resupply services mission to the space station. NICER will study neutron stars through soft X-ray timing. NICER will enable rotation-resolved spectroscopy of the thermal and non-thermal emissions of neutron stars in the soft X-ray band with unprecedented sensitivity, probing interior structure, the origins of dynamic phenomena and the mechanisms that underlie the most powerful cosmic particle accelerators known.

ABOUT:
The IcePlanet Galaxy Dropship has the widened cargo bay like the Futuron version. This was necessary in order to fit the bigger wheels so typical for this theme. More pics at LegoIdeas in the update section.
An overhead pass of the International Space Station in a bright moonlit sky on the night of May 31/ June 1, 2015, with the gibbous Moon in to the south, below. The view is looking south, with the ISS travelling from right (west) to left (east) over several minutes. This was the second pass of a 4-pass night, May 31/June 1, starting at 12:44 am MDT this morning.
This is a composite stack of 91 exposures, each 4 seconds at f/3.5 with the 8mm fish-eye lens and ISO 6400 with the Canon 6D. The gaps are from the 1-second interval between exposures. The length of the trails and gaps reflects the changing apparent speed of the ISS as it approaches, passes closest, then flies away. The stars are trailing around Polaris at top. An aircraft supplies the other dashed trail across the top and intersecting with the ISS trail.
I stacked the exposures with the Advanced Stacker Actions from StarCIrcleAcademy.com, using the Lighten mode. The ground comes from a Mean blend of just 8 of the exposures to prevent shadows from blurring but to smooth noise.

S73-34295A (June 1973) --- A vertical view of a portion of northern California reproduced from data taken from the Skylab Multispectral Scanner, experiment S192, in the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. This view is the most westerly one-third of Frame No. 001, Roll No. 518, S192, Skylab 2. Frame No. 001 extends from the Pacific coast at the Eureka area southeasterly 175 nautical miles to the Feather River drainage basin. Included in this view are Sacramento River Valley, Oroville Reservoir, Oroville and Chico. This non-photographic image is a color composite of channels 2 (visible), 7 and 12 (infrared) from the Earth Resources Experiments Package (EREP) S192 scanner. The scanner techniques assist with spectral signature identification and mapping of ground truth targets in agriculture, forestry, geology, hydrology and oceanography. Photo credit: NASA
SL2-05-381 (22 June 1973) --- Boston, MA and the New England Coastline (43.5N, 84.0W) can be seen in this view. The typical rugged rocky coast of Maine is the result of heavy glacial action producing the rocky cliffs, jagged spurs of land and islands that characterize Main's Atlantic Coast. During the last Ice Age, extensive sediments were laid down producing a landscape of rolling hills with rocky outcrops. Photo credit: NASA
A photograph of the International Space Station running straight through "The Plough", also known as "The Big Dipper".
The photograph has been edited to lighten it up, as it is dark, and if you viewed that photo in the daytime you'd be asking where is anything?
The shot was difficult as it was still very bright dusk, and I didn't want to over expose it with the very long shutter open time, see the EXIF for the settings I used.
The sky still had high cloud which was affecting some shots. The focus point was the space station, rather than the stars

An overhead pass of the International Space Station in a bright moonlit sky on the night of May 31/ June 1, 2015, with the gibbous Moon in the southwest, below. The view is looking south, with the ISS travelling from right (west) to left (east) over several minutes. This was the third pass of a 4-pass night, May 31/June 1, starting at 2:21 am MDT this morning.
This is a composite stack of 66 exposures, each 4 seconds at f/3.5 with the 8mm fish-eye lens and ISO 6400 with the Canon 6D. The gaps are from the 1-second interval between exposures. The length of the trails and gaps reflects the changing apparent speed of the ISS as it approaches, passes closest, then flies away. The stars are trailing around Polaris at top. Unfortunately, I missed catching the start of this pass.

Revelation 21:1-27 (NLT)
Then I [John] saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband.
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever."
And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true." And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give the springs of the water of life without charge! All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshippers, and all liars—their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."
Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
So he took me in spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. It was filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper.
Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure). The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.
No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night. And all the nations will bring their glory and honour into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter—no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
That depends on which part of the earth you are standing!
LIGHTING NOTES:
The main light source for this scene is the sun (off to the left) but the bible states in verse 23 that the Lord Himself is the source of the light in the New Jerusalem city.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
None.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I used a Google earth image, above the Indian Ocean to help me with this drawing. The scripture states that the city is 1,400 miles along each edge, which is almost the distance from the city of London to Marrakesh, Morocco (1430 miles, or 2,303 km) or from London to the nearest coast of the Caspian Sea!
The cubic city is sitting on Israel, & some of Saudi Arabia. The edges on the left stretch out into the Mediterranean Sea, whilst the right edge is somewhere over the Caspian Sea!
The scripture states that the new Jerusalem city will be made of pure gold - hence the colouring I have chosen.
In my cartoon illustration you can see an International Space Station (ISS), crossing the earth’s disc at the bottom left of the picture. The current ISS orbits earth between 173 (278 km) & 286 miles (425 km) above the surface of the earth. That is less than a third of the height of the cubic new Jerusalem city! Imagine being aboard the ISS when the New Jerusalem city appears on earth! I’m not predicting that the new Jerusalem will appear during the current ISS’s life time, hence I wrote “an ISS” not “the (current) ISS”! The bible clearly states that no-one (except God the Father) knows when He will return to earth.

Mosaics such as this one are useful to portray a large area in a single format instead of many photos covering only partial images. In this mosaic, almost the entire area of the Sea of Cortez, the adjacent Baja Peninsula and part of the Sonoran Desert of northwest Mexico can be seen. Photo credit: NASA
SL2-03-118 (June 1973) --- An infrared photograph of the San Francisco Bay, California area, taken from the Skylab 1/2 space station in Earth orbit. THE PICTURE SHOULD BE HELD WITH THE CLOUDS AND PACIFIC OCEAN ON THE LEFT. This photograph was taken by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the space station. Type 2443 film was used. Note the thickly populated and highly developed area around the bay. Among the cities visible in this photograph are San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and San Jose. This view extends eastward to show a portion of the San Joaquin Valley. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP). Photo credit: NASA
MSP-01 Assault Shuttle
Designed by NASA in co-operation with certain Departments of Defense from countries around the world, this shuttles main mission is to "get rid of" enemy sattelites and space stations built for spying purposes. Equipped with four rocket powered hydrogen bombs the MSP-01 can destroy two large sized or four medium sized targets on one mission.
The MSP-01 is designed to look like a non hostile shuttle, this to bypass any ships that might be defending the target. If necessary, the MSP-01 has two heavy-duty cannons that can be used to eliminate the threat of hostile ships. These cannons can shoot different types of rocket powered ammunition all with their own purpose which can be selected by the gunner.
Specifications:
- 4 liquid-fuel rocket engines with seperate resevoir tanks
- Top speed of 19550mph with all engines at full power
- Crew consists of a pilot and a gunner
- 2 cannons with up to 3 different types of ammo each (explosives, electric circuit killers, armour penetrating nerve gas capsules)
- 4 small rocket powered hydrogen bombs
- Can go from flight/stealth mode to assault mode within 15 seconds ; hydrogen bombs ready to fire within 20 seconds. Cannons can be fired at any time

First attempt at the ISS with the ASI120MM.
I only brought my OTA outside 5 mins before the pass so I didn't have time to focus properly. It's only slightly out though.
First try with a new camera meant guessing the settings, they weren't too bad but definitely some adjustments before the next attempt.
8 inch telescope at f/10. ASI120MM. Manually tracked, single frame.
