Module 15, this cliff was supposed to be a lot higher.
To save parts and time I made a smaller rock but the footprint is the same. Later I might revise this part.
My second ever GBC-module. Wanted to try building it from scratch this time, so took a little while to figure out the wave-mechanism, but a fun challenge :)
Pretty happy with the way the dragon turned out and the motion works fairly well with the overall look. Have a look at the video if you want a closer look. Hope you like it! youtu.be/GenuLBWM1-Y?si=3zWL5cj-TP9QCVXr
My first ever GBC-module! Only took me around 6-7 years to finally get one done, haha! Anyways, hope you like it :) Check the video, it does actually work! youtu.be/SD7lMjUY234?si=PfMJ7c46OluOruLs
Motor modules in boxes will probably not be the next big thing in transportation, but it makes a nice picture.

Le module de commande Columbia est la partie du vaisseau spatial qui a servi lors de la mission Apollo 11. Elle a été la première à faire alunir des humains sur la Lune.
This ‘mirror module’ – formed of 140 industrial silicon mirror plates, stacked together by a sophisticated robotic system – is destined to form part of the optical system of ESA’s Athena X-ray observatory.
Due to launch in 2031, Athena will probe 10 to 100 times deeper into the cosmos than previous X-ray missions, to observe the very hottest, high-energy celestial objects. To achieve this the mission requires entirely new X-ray optics technology.
Energetic X-rays don’t behave like typical light waves: they don’t reflect in a standard mirror. Instead they can only be reflected at shallow angles, like stones skimming along water. So multiple mirrors must be stacked together to focus them: ESA’s 1999-launched XMM-Newton has three sets of 58 gold-plated nickel mirrors, each nestled inside one another. But to see further, Athena needs tens of thousands of densely-packed mirror plates.
A new technology had to be invented: ‘silicon pore optics’, based on stacking together mirror plates made from industrial silicon wafers, which are normally used to manufacture silicon chips.
It was developed at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands, and patented by ESA, invented by an ESA staff member with the founder of cosine Research, the Dutch company leading an European consortium developing Athena’s optics.
The technology was refined through a series of ESA R&D projects, and all process steps have been demonstrated to be suitable for industrial production. The wafers have grooves cut into them, leaving stiffening ribs to form the ‘pores’ the X-rays will pass through. They are given a slight curvature, tapering towards a desired point so the complete flight mirror can focus X-ray images.
“We’ve produced hundreds of stacks using a trio of automated stacking robot,” explains ESA optics engineer Eric Wille. “Stacking the mirror plates is a crucial step, taking place in a cleanroom environment to avoid any dust contamination, targeting thousandth of a millimetre scale precision. Our angular resolution is continuously improving.”
“Ongoing shock and other environmental testing ensures the modules will meet Athena’s requirements, and the modules are regularly tested using different X-ray facilities.”
Athena’s flight mirror – comprising hundreds of these mirror modules – is due for completion three to four years before launch, to allow for its testing and integration.
Each new ESA Science mission observes the Universe in a different way from the one before it, requiring a steady stream of new technologies years in advance of launch. That’s where ESA’s research and development activities come in, to early anticipate such needs, to make sure the right technology is available at the right time for missions to come.
Long-term planning is crucial to realise the missions that investigate fundamental science questions, and to ensure the continued development of innovative technology, inspiring new generations of European scientists and engineers.
Science is everywhere at ESA. As well as exploring the Universe and answering the big questions about our place in space we develop the satellites, rockets and technologies to get there. Science also helps us to care for our home planet. All this week we're highlighting different aspects of science at ESA. Join the conversation with #ScienceAtESA.

I decided the build one of Michael Gale's MultiRoad modules over the weekend. I think it looks pretty sharp.
PROJECT: Space Bus splits into 3 modules: The Control Center, the Main Cabin, and the Science Section.
There were a few details i agonised over, that frankly might never be seen. The radiator in the office, and the windows were two of those. These were crucial details for me, again it's about giving the apartment that 'real' flavour.
Here are the modules I have so far, plus the unmanned scout vehicle.
I don't have plans for any more modules immediately, but could definitely see myself building some eventually.
View of the Apollo 9 Lunar Module "Spider" in a lunar landing configuration photographed by Command Module pilot David Scott inside the Command/Service Module "Gumdrop" on the fifth day of the Apollo 9 earth-orbital mission. The landing gear on "Spider" has been deployed. lunar surface probes (sensors) extend out from the landing gear foot pads. Inside the "Spider" were astronauts James A. McDivitt, Apollo 9 Commander; and Russell L. Schweickart, Lunar Module pilot.

Module 4, the bridge, i think it looks pretty nice, not to sure, will problety make it bigger.
This will probably be the second last HP project module for a while, the pasrt ya know ;)
Hope you like it!
Design this model by using bricks available in PAB wall from Hong Kong LEGO Certified Store. Left one was redesigned and applied 120 brick count limitation.

This model showcases the Apollo Command Module, a pioneering spacecraft that carried 27 astronauts on nine lunar missions between 1968 and 1972. Launched atop the colossal Saturn V rocket, the most powerful rocket ever constructed, the Command Module was the sole component of the spacecraft to return to Earth after each mission.
Encore un départ de cargo, le Progress russe, mais avec une nouveauté de taille : accroché au véhicule, un petit bout de station est carrément parti en même temps, et ce n’est pas tous les jours que ça arrive ! C’était le module DC1, qui nous a quitté après vingt ans de bons et loyaux services. 👋 On a penché la Station de 90° pour faciliter l’opération. Quelques heures après, on était aux premières loges pour observer le finish en ☄️ (destruction du véhicule en rentrant dans l’atmosphère, brûlé sous l’effet de la friction).
So long DC1! 👋 After almost twenty years of service, instead of getting a medal , one of the Space Station's oldest modules got a little trip through the atmosphere. Check these pics: it’s not every day that you see a piece of the Station being taken away. We pitched the International Space Station 90 degrees, and so we flew belly first, to help out with the manoeuver. Pyotr and myself tried to capture some photos and videos of this important moment in the Station's history. Quite a strange feeling to see a part of your ship fly away in mid-air (so to speak – no atmosphere here duh). A couple of hours later and we had front row seat to the fireball that was going to be DC1’s last act. 🌠We clearly saw smaller pieces float away from the main fireworks, as the ship was being destructed by the heat of atmospheric friction. Quite the show!

This is another image of my Lunar Module model rendered in Bricklink's Studio 2.0. I made a few adjustments to the design and reassigned different colours. Most notably, the orange bricks I used originally for the Kapton polymide film foil blankets have been replaced with a metallic gold brick from Studio 2.0’s palette. This gives the model a more accurate appearance.
Near the Apollo 11 Lunar Module landing site, there is a line of three craters named for Niel Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, & Michael Collins. The smallest is only 2.6 km or about 1.3 seconds of arc in size. These were imaged with a Questar 3.5" telescope, 2x2x Dakin Barlow lenses, and a Sony a6300 camera.
