This image shows part of the central truss that runs the length of the ISS.
The ISS Hardware Integration Facility runs tests to ensure that all the space station modules, the products of many nations, work correctly with each other before launch. Most, if not all, of the modules seen here are now in orbit.
This image was taken on an April 2001 education trip to NASA for school pupils from Wales and Cornwall. At that time it was possible to go beyond the tourist route; the ISS modules seen here are real and not the mock ups shown to the public. 9/11 changed all that when we returned in 2002.
This image was taken on film and scanned shortly afterwards. The EXIF data refers to the scan.
This image shows one of the three Italian built logistics modules for the ISS. Since service missions are being carried out by Russian Progress-M modules I don't know if these are in use. One thing is certain, the Italians have put more time and money into the ISS than the UK.

Here's the Space Station coming over on the wonderfully clear night of September 16, 2009, with it coming out of the western twilight, passing between Arcturus and the Big Dipper (lower area of frame) and passing straight overhead (top of frame) then going out of frame as it heads east. Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk on board the ISS had just celebrated 100 days in space.
This is a composite of eight 30-second exposures, stacked together to create the effect of the ISS as a streak across the sky. The 1 second interval between exposures created the gap between streaks. The length of exposures has also streaked the stars into concentric trails revolving around Polaris, the North Star, right of centre. © 2009 Alan Dyer
Like the shuttle orbiters, the ISS has a Canadian manufactured robotic arm, only larger and more sophisticated. This image shows the tool cradle for the arm.

Piloting and despooling
The reality of JB’s confinement is suffocating. The air inside is thin, hot, and heavy with the scent of his own fear. His flight suit, usually a second skin, feels like a lead weight. Through the visor, he sees the control panel—a blur of familiar red and green warnings pulsing just inches away. His fingers twitch, aching to override the sequence, but the shimmering silver nanoweave holds him in a vice grip.
He is a creature of action reduced to impotent stasis, staring at salvation he cannot touch.
JB feels the phantom touch of ancient hands as they apply ceremonial linen over the nanoweave. The timeline collapses. He is no longer just a space tourist; he is a modern man drowning in the dust of the ancients, suspended in the liminal space between the cold silence of the cosmos and the heavy, golden air of the afterlife.
As the pressure locks against his skull, the final thread snaps. It is the disintegration of the self. JB feels his history, his name, and his instincts—the very core of who he is—rapidly unspooling into the darkness. The machine has not just captured his body; it has dismantled his identity, leaving him as a blank slate waiting to be written upon by the anomaly.

I took this shot of the space station passing over our house on 3-19 at 2012. This was taken at 30 seconds. Notice the red and blue lights around. This is known as the red shift. Stars moving toward us apear as red, Stars moving aways apear as blue. Since this was shot as a Raw image (not maniputaed by the settings of the camera), you can see this variation
