In 2015 NASA commissioned Gamla Model Makers to develop and produce a 1:144 scale model of the International Space Station. Smaller, about 70% size of our standard 1:100 scale ISS model, this one was suppose to become a more portable and mobile version of the ISS presentation model.
Once again we re-worked the 1:100 scale 3D model, not only scaling it down, but also modifying the elements in order to compensate for smaller size and slightly lower scale resolution. We also had to modify the model so it will be able to accept all new set of magnets, internal reinforcement elements and supports, non of which was simply proportionally smaller.
As a result we developed and produced a new model of ISS, which is smaller in size, easier to handle, yet it has preserved all the features of the 1:100 scale model. The model depicts the latest 2015 configuration, including the newest elements, such as replicas of the Dragon and Cygnus spaceships as well as the BEAM - the inflatable habitat module. The model is comfortably mounted on a smaller round (not elliptical) base with a new nameplate. New, more portable transit case was developed for this model. We see a way to modify the transit case even further, to make it even more portable, possibly luggage type, and currently working in this direction.
The 1:144 scale ISS model became a success - we received the most positive feedback from our NASA customers.
We see a future for this model as it is more portable, easier to handle and cost much less than the 1:100 scale model.
Edited STS088 image of the International Space Station at a time when half of it could still easily fit into the cargo bay of a space shuttle. The space station is bigger now... This image is a still from an Imax movie.
I've just received confirmation directly from Richard Garriott that my artwork flew in orbit as part of the Zero Gravity Art Exhibit aboard the International Space Station. He just emailed me these photos of my artwork affixed to the inside of the ISS, with an audience of crew members. This is completely unreal to me. I can't believe that my artwork flew in orbit and that my drawing of a girl and a rocket actually flew to space on a rocket. I'll post a close-up of the piece, "Dirty Martini and the Birth of the Space Program", in the comments below.
This spectacular image of sunset on the Indian Ocean was taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The image presents an edge-on, or limb view, of the Earth’s atmosphere as seen from orbit. The Earth’s curvature is visible along the horizon line, or limb, that extends across the image from center left to lower right. Above the darkened surface of the Earth, a brilliant sequence of colors roughly denotes several layers of the atmosphere.
Deep oranges and yellows appear in the troposphere, which extends from the Earth’s surface to 6–20 km high. This layer contains over 80 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all of the water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. Several dark cloud layers are visible within this layer. Variations in the colors are due mainly to varying concentrations of either clouds or aerosols (airborne particles or droplets).
The pink to white region above the clouds appears to be the stratosphere; this atmospheric layer generally has few or no clouds, and it extends up to approximately 50 km above the Earth’s surface. Above the stratosphere, blue layers mark the upper atmosphere (including the mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere), as it gradually fades into the blackness of outer space.
The ISS was located over the southern Indian Ocean when this picture was taken, with the astronaut looking towards the west. Astronauts aboard the ISS see 16 sunrises and sunsets per day due to their high orbital velocity (greater than 28,000 km per hour). The multiple chances for photography are fortunate because at that speed, each sunrise or sunset only lasts a few seconds!
Astronaut photograph ISS023-E-57948 was acquired on May 25, 2010 with a Nikon D3 digital camera, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 23 crew. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. Lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by William L. Stefanov, NASA-JSC.

First secret testings in the Karlsaue Kassel.
Some people say it has something to do with the documenta 12 - they call it "Crystal Palace", "Kristallpalast" or "Luftschloss".
But we know, this pavilion is to test how people can life on the moon.

Die Deutschen auf dem Weg zum Mond. Erste geheime Tests für die geplanten Mondmissionen!!! In Kassel!!! In der Karlsaue vor der Orangerie!!!
Einige sagen dieser AuePavillon hätte etwas mit der documenta 12 zu tun. Sie nennen ihn "Kristallpalast", "Crystal Palace" oder auch liebevoll "Luftschloss".
Andere betiteln dieses Bauwerk mit "Gewächshaus".
Nichts von dem ist richtig! Es handelt sich weder um einen Palast, noch um ein Schloß - und wer beim Anblick dieses HighTech-Bauwerks an ein Gewächshaus denkt, dem ist ohnehin nicht zu helfen.
Es ist (natürlich) eine Raumstation!
Diverse Medien berichteten schon Anfang des Jahres, daß Deutschland eine eigene Mondmissionen plant ( www.ftd.de/forschung_bildung/forschung/167058.html ). Tatsächlich wird hier schon viel weiter in die Zukunft gedacht.
Ab Juni soll gestestet werden, wie sich Menschen in einem Abgeschlossenen Raum mit ungewöhnlichen Objekten verhalten. Befinden sich die Testpersonen in der "space station", werden sie optischen und akustischen Signalen ausgesetzt.
Spezielle Gravitationsmaschinen (hier als Klimaanlagen getarnt) können in einigen Bereichen des Pavillons Schwerelosigkeit erzeugen.
Ein Mitarbeiter des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) berichtete, man habe die documenta 12 ganz bewußt gewählt. "Wenns da blitzt und blinkt oder sie irgend welche merkwürdigen Formen und Töne wahrnehmen, spüren die: DAS IST KUNST. Und sie sind offen für diese neuen Eindrücke.
Wenn wir dann noch die Gravitationsmaschine einschalten ... Also wer das überlebt, überlebt auch mehrere Wochen auf dem Mond."
Das EADS-Team verbringt die Freizeit nach nächtlicher Arbeit (Installation geheimer Systeme im Inneren der Station) übrigens tagsüber gerne mit Boule-spielen vor der Raumstation.
Und wenn sie sich immer schon gefragt haben, warum die das Spiel
so gut beherrschen...: Raumfahrttechnologie
the equipment is so expensive that they just plot print-outs of the equipment racks for the practice model of the US portion of the space station.

Just to prove The International Space Station can be seen with the naked eye (and camera)! The ISS going over Whitehaven, Cumbria UK - about five second exposure I think. It's humbling to think the white dot soaring overhead is the most expensive object built by man. See www.heavens-above.com for next pass by of ISS and other heavenly bodies

First a plane, then a pizza delivery car, then the ISS appears center frame. And, wow, iMovie sure jacked up the color. Hopefully I'll have time to refinish this in a different app.

One of the most noticeable models created by Gamla Model Makers in 2015 is a giant 1:50 scale model of ISS. The model is twice larger than our most popular 1:100 scale model, it depicts the latest 2015 configuration and includes some newest elements such as replicas of Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft and the BEAM - the inflatable habitat module.
This version was developed using the 3D model of the 1:100 scale ISS. However, due to a larger size, the majority of the elements were re-designed to increase the level of detailing and overall accuracy. The internal reinforcement system, supports and the order of assembly were also modified to compensate for increased size and weight. The images of the model give an insight on the assembly of the model and attaching magnetized elements. You can see how large this model on the images where the crew members interact with the model.
The model was delivered to the NASA Johnson Space Center and will be installed in the Visitors Center.

I really missed out on the very long space station pass tonight - my shot with the moon and Venus was poor, thanks to hitting the wrong button in the dark! I caught up with the problem after a few moments, and managed a shot with it passing the plough (visible if you click on the picture and see it enlarged) - exposure about 1 minute.

....then add me in game!
Long exposure to capture, and of course my timing stunk... Couldn't find the thing in the viewfinder and rushed the shot when I did find it.
After seeing a few space station shots on Flickr I tried a couple very early this morning, I will try again as it was well over were I intended to take my shot before I noticed it passing
A quick turn round and I managed a going away shot heading north east over Wellington
For its last mission, NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery carried supplies, spare parts and a robotic assistant to the International Space Station. The entire shuttle program ended in 2011. Shuttle Discovery flew 39 missions since 1984, traveled 143 million miles and spent nearly a full year in orbit, making it the most flown manned spacecraft in history.
