The Apollo Spacecraft Command Module sitting atop of the Saturn V rocket, at the Apollo-Saturn V Museum at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The small rocket, attached to the top of the Command Module, is the Launch Escape System that would be used to pull the Command Module (which contained the crew cabin) away from the launch vehicle in an abort situation.
Basically, this module is the same as the previous module, the Pentagon Module [#1]. The difference is that the angles radiate from the middle of the bottom edge towards the left and right edges of the square paper. The assembly is very loose and I had to use paper clips to temporary hold on to the modules. The assembled model will also have a large pentagonal hole in the centre. I reduced the hole by folding in part of the top edge,
The Zeplina Power Module was created to power the worlds largest zeppelin, this piece was destined for stardom as an epic event in history. However, its extreme weight and the fact it was mounted at the front of the zeppelin meant that the nose couldn't get of the ground, even with the excessive amount of power it produced. The zeppelin cruised along, bum in the air, nose to the ground like a dog sniffing out the trail of dragged sausages. The zeppelin company refused to pay for the item, so I turned it into a lamp and this (almost) piece of history is for sale!
The Equilateral Triangle shape [Coaster?] is assembled from 3 modules. Each module is folded from 15cm square Harmony papers.
The Module is actually a 60 degrees "Reverse-fold" from a "Book-folded" square. The front and the back of the model are the same. 6 of these modules can also be assembled to form a Hexagonal Ring.
This series was created in 1990 and first published in Modular Origami [self-publication]. This module and it's variation to a Hexagon Ring is also published in the British Origami Society Booklet #58.

Lunar Module 2 was the second spacecraft built by Grumman Aerospace for use in the Apollo program. Originally, it was supposed to have flown in space, but the flight of Lunar Module 1 during the Apollo 5 mission was so successful that a second unmanned flight was considered unnecessary. Instead, Lunar Module 2 was used in drop tests to evaluate the performance of the landing gear. This craft is very similar to Eagle (Lunar Module 5), which carried Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to the surface of the Moon in 1969.
Apollo command module at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I believe it is Command Module "Kitty Hawk" from Apollo 14, but I may be mistaken. Technically an HDR picture, but without the "surreal" look that many get.
Le Corbusier sviluppò il Modulor all'interno della lunga tradizione di Vitruvio, l'uomo vitruviano di Leonardo da Vinci, i lavori di Leon Battista Alberti, e altri tentativi di trovare proporzioni geometriche e matematiche relative al corpo umano e usare queste conoscenze per migliorare sia l'estetica che la funzionalità dell'architettura. Il sistema è basato sulle misure umane, la doppia unità , la sequenza di Fibonacci e la sezione aurea. Le Corbusier lo descriveva come "una gamma di misure armoniose per soddisfare la dimensione umana, applicabile universalmente all'architettura e alle cose meccaniche". Il modulor è anche utile per la rappresentazione della figura umana.

First module using the NELTC mainline standard. I really dig the wedge plate accent on the outside of the ballast. I am reasonably happy with the trees, but may tinker with the tops.
more than just blink. I added bits for a connector and regulating the power from 5v for the Atmega168 to 3.3v for LCD, accelerometer, etc.
I messed up the 3.3v voltage regulator and took a few tries bending the pins different ways before getting to work.
creating a series of connected modules of different angles of twist from the same axis. The twist is only along the x-y parameter keeping the top and bottom section the same with similar spacing, demonstrating a twisted grid created with mass customization.
Twisted forms provide better solutions against eccentric and non uniform multi direction loads compared to the usually 3 dimensional x-y-z grid arranged buildings.
okay sorry for more tech stuff, i'm just writing all this out so i won't forget when the final presentation comes. gahhh
Turns the trusty workhorse "283 into a useful strobist tool. The only downside is that since its just a potentiometer, there are no positive clicks for each setting, so you don't really know if that power level is what you're getting. But its pretty close. It also allows adjustment down to 1/64th power, better than the current 285 HV. "

I got a 283 with AC adapter and the VP-1 module with some Canon film gear. Entire manual scanned here.
Vintage passenger service modules , called APAX, from passenger aircraft. These modules are located under the seats and provide music and other passenger services, as steward call feature.
Small steering module

Edited Apollo 11 image of the Lunar Module Eagle from a distance. (I hesitate to guess the distance given the lack of atmosphere.)
The Dodecagon Cross Modules are folded from Fake US $10,000 Bills but with the real dimension. The bills are posted earlier here - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/8355436961/in/set-7215...
I have skipped making the Coaster derived from 11 modules and went on to 12 modules as it is difficult to get the correct and accurate angle for the Hendecagon Cross module. Maybe I will come to this later.
A very accurate module can be easily folded by simply adding another fold to bisect the angle used in the Hexagon Cross module.
I have also modified the modules by dividing the paper into thirds instead of quarters. Therefore, the cupboard fold is no longer symmetrical. This provides a larger area to fold the more acute angle.
Almost any paper currency can be used to fold the modules and interesting patterns can be generated from the assembly. There are 4 different orientation to begin with and that means for each assembly, I can have 4 different patterns, 8 if the reverse side of the assembly is included.
I shall not be folding from all the different orientations. just from one and the same orientation will do and will display the front and back side of the assembly. [Obverse and Reverse]
Many thanks to Dirk Eisner and Hans-Werner Guth for their collaboration.

5th Platoon, class 017-18 Drill Sergeant Leaders train and test the drill sergeant candidates on their knowledge of modules at the USADSA PT field, Aug 23. Drill Sergeant candidates must be able to pitch and demonstrate modules, the DSLs complete a workbook and forms after every testing event. This helps DSLs track the progress of the candidates.
Design for a stepper motor drive.
The stepper motor drive uses the TMC2100 modules from an old 3D printer (FlashForge Finder). I got this gift from a Fischertechnik forum member. The modules are controlled via a spi connection with my FPGA controller. The FPGA is connected to the Fischertechniek TXT Controller via an I2C line. The TMC2100 modules are in a fixed mode of the 3D printer, there is micro stepping used with 16 fine steps per step. Through the SPI connection I can send the ena, DIR, STEP, CFG0 and CFG4 pin. Because the modules are configured in 16 microsteps, the step pulses can be provided quite quickly. Therefore I controlled the SPI driver from a 4MHz clock so that only 13.5 usec is needed to scan all 24 inputs and outputs. This is much faster than the max step speed needed for the stepper.
The SPI goes to the FPGA chip. This is now programmed as a large I2C chip for the user. Besides this stepper driver there are also modules written for 16 motors, 72 inputs, 36 outputs, and 32 servo motors. All inputs can handle fairly fast pulses especially for quadrature encoders. The motors can run in 5 different modes and operate autonomously. The external I2C user only needs to send a few commands. Timing is no problem at all because the FPGA works much faster than the fastest micro controller. There are almost 1000 bytes of registers provided to support all functions. On the Fischertechnik side I have written a full lib to support all these functions. Through the Robopro software you can now write a program in a few minutes to the motors, servo steppers controls, reads inputs, status reads output line controls. I will give you more information about this later, but this data is so extensive that writing the manual takes a lot of time.

This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
National Air and Space Museum
The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution holds the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world in 14,970.9 m2 of exhibition floor space. It was established in 1946, as the National Air Museum, and opened its main building in 1976. Located in Washington, D.C., United States, it is a center for research into the history and science of aviation and spaceflight, as well as planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics. Almost all space and aircraft on display are originals or backups to the originals.
N scale town module -- various kits
The last minute roundabout idea which turned out surprisingly well.
I'll let you ponder over how this was made.
Voskhod 1 descent module, 1964
The three cosmonauts' couches inside Voskhod were only fitted with difficulty, making the crew crane their necks to see the instrument panels. With no space for a means of escape to be fitted, a retrorocket slowed the spacecraft as it returned to Earth, enabling the cosmnauts to remain on board for the entire mission.
