Spacelab, Laboratory Module
Developed by the European Space Agency, Spacelab was a modular laboratory system installed in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle orbiter. During Spacelab missions in the 1980s and 1990s, the Shuttle served as an intermittent space station for research conducted by scientists and astronauts. The laboratory module, a pressurized cylindrical room connected by a tunnel to the crew cabin, was Spacelab's primary element. It was outfitted with racks containing subsystems, computers, work stations, stowage lockers, supplies, equipment, and experiments that varied from mission to mission.
Two laboratory modules were flown on a total of 16 missions from 1983 through 1998. This one, Module #1, was used nine times, first on the Spacelab 1 mission in 1983 and last on the Microgravity Science Laboratory missions in 1997. NASA transferred it to the Museum when the Spacelab program ended.
Shows how walls and modules are put together. You can put multiple modules together for rectangular/square rooms (rooms with +4 corners are impossible at the moment) and the wall modules allow for borders/walls and doors.
Science Museum, Kensington, London, May 1979; Lunar Module replica. Shot on tungsten balanced slide film with (probably) a Praktica LLC. Not sure what lens. That's the real Apollo 10 Command Module in the foreground. I'm not sure where all this stuff is now. (update: both are still there, the LM replica has been refurbished and moved to a different part of the museum - a quick Google Image search shows this. The historic CM has not been moved as far as I can see.)

I prefer the lighting on my previous version, so I might retake this later this evening.
A module of cotton can contain up to 25,000 lbs. of cotton, or 10 metric tons, or about 50 bales of cotton. This module was located in Holmes County, Mississippi. Many more modules lined the rural roads.

KITE Module
KITE derives its name from Kiloelectron volt Ion Temperature Experiment. It was used to determine the temperature produced by the nuclear test device at particular points. The KITE module is an evacuated chamber that forms part of the line of sight. Several KITES were used in each nuclear test, positioned at different points in the rack. The KITE signals were transmitted uphole on thick coaxial cables and recorded either in U.S. or U.K. trailers.

Module 3 has arrived which means I have all the parts from Marlin to finish the build. Still loads to source from other places though
- Rear tub dropped roughly into place. It will require a bit of hacking about to get it to fit
