I have decided to name the module as, "Cubo Modules" Initially I wanted to call it "Cuboctahedron Module" because the first model I assembled from these modules was the Cuboctahedron. It is a very long name. Therefore, I shorten it to Cubo.
The models in this photo are assembled from the same modules. 3 modules to form the Prism, 6 for the Cuboctahedron, 12 for the Rhombicuboctahedron and 30 modules for the Rhombicosidodecahedron.

Two weeks after Sandy, my friend Brittany and I volunteered to help clean up the aftermath in Toms River. We joined Samaritan's Volunteer Group where we met Robert, Joseph, Linda, Daniel, Rosalind, Patrick, Donald and Hamish. We learned that we all were in some way affected by the storm, but found that our situations could not compare to what we witnessed. We drove through the storm ravaged town, and saw that once familiar places were now gone. Not only were belongings scattered, but actual homes crumbled and tossed like a piece of paper by Sandy. What we saw was heart wrenching, and no picture could justify the extent of the damage. Being there in person made everything seem surreal. I lost power for 9 days, they lost their homes. We arrived at the home of a man named Syra. He told us that him, his wife, and children lived in that house for 25 years and never experienced anything remotely like this. We learned that Syra was in an unfortunate situation (like many, many others!)because the insurance on his home would not cover the cost to rebuild it.
Armed with nothing more than a couple hammers, crowbars, and screw drivers, we began to tear down the flood ravished interior. The water was about 4 1/2 feet high. You can see the flood line in the picture of the bathroom. We tried to salvage whatever we could, but a large portion of the house walls needed to be completely ripped down. We didn't have the proper tools to do this job, so we weren't going to do it. I knew that if the walls in Syra's home were not taking down, then he would have to pay even more money to the contractors that were scheduled to come the next day. He lost everything, even his business, and this made us not take no for an answer. We began to tear the walls down with our bare hands, and I began to kick one completely out (I knew something good would come out of these grasshopper legs of mine!). The energy that I felt in that room was overwhelming. We were all complete strangers but shared a common feeling and worked together to achieve something that was greater than what we expected.
Syra came back to the house. He began to sob while he thanked us repeatedly for what we had done. Through tears, he told us that he believed we were sent there to him that day by God to help him and his family recover. Syra then said that he hadn't been able to sleep in 2 weeks, but thanks to us, he would be able to sleep that night.
I didn't go there with the belief that we were miracle workers. And even though I volunteered with a Christian group, I didn't go there to represent God or any type of faith. But I went there with the belief that I could possibly make a difference, even if it was small.

This is another very easy module which I am sure other folders have already discovered. The Module is simply a Preliminary Base with 2 opposite corners folded in to the centre. 8 modules are joined with simple folds to form a ring of triangles. 7.5cm squares of Wood Grain patterned papers and Kami are used to fold the modules. Diagrams later.
The Orion crew module for Exploration Mission-1 recently underwent Direct Field Acoustics Test where it was exposed to maximum acoustics levels that the vehicle will experience in space. Spacecraft response and sound pressure data were collected with microphones, strain gauges and accelerometers. The max decibel level was -12dB.

Edited NASA PR diagram for the Ascent and Descent modules of the overall Lunar Module for Project Apollo.
Command module for "Skylab 4" -- the fourth manned mission to the Skylab space station. It occurred from November 16, 1973, to February 8, 1974. On display in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA. It consisted of the second stage of a Saturn IV-B rocket. Inside this stage was a second compartment, which formed a two-story area for work. The lower level contained the "Saturn workshop," while the upper area was a wardroom where eating, sleeping, physical exercise, and recreation could occur. Two huge solar panel arrays provided power to the station. A multi-section docking ring was attached to the station's nose, which allowed a traditional Command and Service Module unit to dock. Above the docking ring was the Apollo Telescope, a solar observatory.
Disaster struck on launch day. Just 63 seconds into the flight, the micrometeoroid shield around Skylab ripped free from the space station. Just three seconds earlier, the rocket had passed Mach 1, and was passing through the "Max Q" -- the period of maximum atmospheric dynamic stress on the spacecraft.
Rivets that didn't quite fit and seals which had not been totally completed allowed air to flow behind the shield at hypersonic speed. This caused the shield to partially deploy -- moving a few inches outward from the space station.
The shield ripped almost completely free from the space station, unpeeling like the skin of a fruit. As the shield ripped away, it caused one of the solar panels to partially deploy -- and it ripped almost completely free of the space station.
When the second stage separated from the space station at 9 minutes, 52 seconds into the flight, it fired retrorockets that allowed Skylab to move forward and away. These retrorockets, however, caused the damaged solar panel to rip completely free from Skylab.
At about 21 minutes into the flight, the Apollo Telescope Mount successfully deployed. At 26 minutes into the flight, the solar panels were supposed to deploy. But the micrometeoroid shield was wrapped around the only remaining solar panel arm, and the deployment pyrotechnics shorted out trying to move too much weight.
The micrometeoroid shield was designed to also function as a thermal shield. With this thermal shield gone, temperatures inside Skylab shot up to 225 degrees F. This weakened the skin of the space station, and NASA engineers refused to pressurize the station for fear that it would simply implode in orbit.
The first manned mission to Skylab, known as Skylab-2, was due to launch for the space station on May 5, but this was pushed back to May 20 in order to give NASA time to figure out what to do.
NASA engineers devised an umbrella-like device. This could be thrust out of the scientified airlock (an 8 inch by 8 inch opening designed to allow scientific instruments to be exposed to space but manipulated from inside the space station). By inserting a pole into the interior of the device, the "parasol" extended a 22 foot by 24 foot canopy made of gold nylon backed by metallized mylar. The astronauts had tried to free the trapped solar panel before docking, but failed. Three days later, after Skylab's batteries began to fail, another attempt was made -- this time via spacewalk. It nearly failed, but at the last moment the panel sprang free and fulled extended. (Skylab-3 would later deploy another parasol -- this one extended via two long arms -- on top of the first to help cool the station even further.)
Skylab astronauts flew to the space station using the same command and service modules first developed for the lunar landings. The service modules were used to carry all the supplies the astronauts would need. At the end of the mission, the capsule (command module) would detach from the service module. The serivce module would burn up on re-entry, while the command module would splash down and return everyone to Earth safely.
Skylab 4 launched on November 16, 1973. After 84 days in space, the astronauts returned to Earth on February 8, 1974. Commander Gerald P. Carr, Pilot William R. Pogue, and Science Pilot Edward G. Gibson conducted medical experiments, solar observations, studied the Earth, and made unplanned observations of Comet Kohoutek.

The Orion crew and service module stack for Artemis I was lifted out of the Final Assembly and Test (FAST) cell on Monday, November 11. The spacecraft has been stationed in the FAST cell since July 2019 for mating and closeout processing.
The service module and crew module were moved separately into the cell, stacked and connected together for the mission.
After lifting out of the cell, Orion will be attached to a tool called a verticator that rotates the stack from its vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration for transport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, where it will undergo full environmental testing to certify the complete vehicle for flight.
Once the vehicle returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre it will return to the FAST cell for installation of final panels left off for environmental testing purposes and the service module’s four solar arrays.
