Over the past few days at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers have connected the third European Service Module to the Crew Module Adapter, forming the complete Service Module which will propel Orion towards the Moon and provide oxygen and water for astronauts during the Artemis III mission.
This assembly process involved carefully suspending the Crew Module Adapter while lifting the European Service Module very slowly, stopping regularly to check the alignment using precise laser measurements. The European Service Module is placed on a mobile platform that allows engineers to accurately move the precious module with six degrees of freedom – x, y, z and three rotations – to ensure an exact alignment. Once the modules are ready to be fastened, engineers install 192 screws one by one all around the modules. Some of these fastenings are particularly challenging to reach, requiring special precautions like foil to prevents parts from falling into the module underneath.
Now that the modules are connected, the next steps in the journey to Artemis III include welding operations to connect the systems that will provide breathable air, water and temperature inside the spacecraft and testing that these systems are leak-proof and securely connected. Next year, the Crew Module and solar array wings will be attached to the Service Module, forming the complete Orion spacecraft.

This is the 3rd module (of 6 currently built) that is part of my JunkTown MOC. This is a bit of a Junk Yard
Megan était installée dans la Cupola quand la caméra 360 ISSexperience, fixée au bout du bras robotique, est venue jeter un œil à l’intérieur. Ça m’a rappelé mon dernier entraînement sous-marin avec la NASA : parfois les poissons sont attirés par la lumière des hublots, souvent la seule source lumineuse environnante. Ça doit être une sorte de divertissement pour eux, un peu comme quand on visite un aquarium, sauf que dans ce cas c’est nous qui sommes à l’intérieur ! 🐟
Megan was in the Cupola when the 360 camera ISSexperience, perched at the end of the robotic arm, decided to come peek inside the ISS. It reminded me of a NASA underwater training mission, when all the fish came at night to look inside our deep sea habitat, which was the only light in the area, so it was entertainment for them: we were the aquarium!! 🐟

I found this picture of the cybercity module I threw together for Bricks By the Bay last April, and realized I never posted it. In the vacant area on the right was a trash lot (at the show).
Also I know I haven't posted anything in a long time. These last few months have been pretty packed and stressful, which I'll be sure to explain in about a month. I do have two new MOCs essentially finished and awaiting photography, which should happen in the next week!
so, this is my next project: a modular microscale Space Base on Mars.
Module 1 seen from the front.
find more pics in the Mars Base set.
Sonobe system, 30 papers, base module my design...
You can find the diagrams for this model here: Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3
And a 3D render of a single module here: Sonobe petal module
Assembly instructions: right here.
Lego Classic Space SHIP, the module with the arms are meant to help the truck load rocks for the scientists. They retract into the ship when not in use. The truck in the garage is a basic rock space hauler. I rigged up the klaxon sound brick to the rolling garage doors. When opened all the way it triggers the sound brick.
In front of the gothic cathedral,
a strange module appeared.
Adding a touch of color fantasy in the dark reality.
Is it the latest invention of Professor Calculus (from Tintin) ?
Or a new vehicle from the Count of Champignac (from Spirou) ?
But it is a retro-futurist vision coming from the colorful comic books of my childhood invading the grey present.
Sur le parvis de la cathédrale gothique, un étrange module est apparu.
Une touche de couleur acidulée dans la sombre réalité.
Une nouvelle invention du Professeur Tournesol ?
Un nouvel engin du Comte de Champignac ?
C'est en tout cas une bien étrange vision rétro-futuriste, sortie des bd colorées de mon enfance.

I have been building small houses to get an Idea of how the town layout will connect to the Islands' geography.
As expected modifications are needed.
There's actually nothing left of the old
Module 19. I basically just built a new one.
The base needed to be a lot higher (around 8 bricks high now). Also the Islands' smooth coastline will evolve into a rough one with more reliëf and capes.
Name: Triangle Edge Modules
Designer: Lewis Simon
Units: 90
Paper: 4,0 x 8,0 (1:2)
Final diameter: ~ 12,5 cm
A few empty modules to give you a better sense of how they're built and fit together. These are from the Tower section and are among the first I built. Trying out cheese mosaic floors for the first time :)

I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.
Dedicated to nnenn.
Sjøhus, (sea houses, litterally translated) are industrial buildings from the times when boats were the only efficient way of transport. These cladded, timber frame buildings were used for all kinds of purposes connected to trade and fisheries on the Norwegian coast. The typical protruding part of the gable (vindehus) is protecting the hoist mechanism. Herring (sild) fisheries were so important for the earlier economic growth on the western coast it was the obvious choice for an advert on the wall.
One of the 'rocky coast' modules.
10 done, 10 more to go.
I am not going to make it :S
But I'll try anyway.
The chevrons are part of Module 1 of my modular microscale Space Base.
the prototype for this cheese slope design is here and, of course, I have to acknowledge inspiration from Katie, the master of cheese slope mosaics.

Have no idea if it works yet, but proud to have completed my first kit nonetheless., First kit-built Eurorack module: a Synthrotek ADSR. Have no idea whether it works yet
Le module lunaire ou LM (pour Lunar Module) est le véhicule spatial utilisé (1961-1972) pour atterrir sur la Lune avec deux membres d'équipage du vaisseau Apollo, des équipements scientifiques, de leur permettre d'y séjourner de deux à quatre jours avant de décoller pour rejoindre le module de commande et de service (CSM) resté en orbite lunaire et chargé de ramener l'équipage sur Terre. La conception et la construction du module lunaire ont été réalisées sous la maîtrise d'œuvre de la société aérospatiale Grumman entre 1962 et 1969. Quinze modules lunaires ont été construits, dont dix ont volé et six atterri sur le sol lunaire au cours de la période 1969-1972. Le module lunaire de la mission Apollo 13 a permis de sauver l'équipage en se substituant au Module de Commande et de Service défaillant. Le cockpit du module lunaire abritait toutes les commandes nécessaires pour manœuvrer le véhicule pendant la descente, l’ascension et l’amarrage. Le poste de commandement était à gauche, le pilote du LM à droite. Tous les instruments critiques étaient dupliqués à deux positions ou accessibles aux deux astronautes. Le télescope optique d'alignement centré au-dessus de la station de vol était un élément essentiel du système de guidage et de navigation du LM. En comparant les angles et les distances entre les étoiles, les astronautes ont pu déterminer la position précise du LM dans l'espace. Cette réplique grandeur nature d'un poste de pilotage LM était l'un des nombreux appareils utilisés par les équipages d'Apollo lors des préparatifs de la mission. Connu sous le nom de LM trainer, l'appareil est équipé d'afficheurs et de commandes identiques à ceux d'un LM réel. Les astronautes se sont entraînés avec dans un jet spécial capable de simuler des conditions de faible gravité. Le module lunaire était si petit que les astronautes le pilotaient debout. D’une hauteur de 7 m, le LM Apollo surprend par sa taille imposante et son esthétique emblématique. Les deux astronautes Neil Armstrong et Buzz Aldrin ont bien failli ne plus jamais redécoller pour rejoindre le module de commande resté en orbite (où les attendait le 3e astronaute, Michael Collins). Après leur sortie lunaire, ils sont rentrés dans le LEM puis ont enlevé leur combinaison très encombrante. L’un des astronautes a alors cassé le bouton-poussoir du tableau de bord permettant de mettre en marche les moteurs de l’engin ! Heureusement, Aldrin avait un stylo dans sa combinaison. Les deux astronautes ont fait du bricolage et enfoncé le stylo à l’endroit où se trouvait le bouton pour actionner la commande ». D'un coût initial de 8 milliards ($), Apollo atteindra finalement 20 milliards (prix en l’an 2000). Partie sur les chapeaux de roue, le budget donné à la NASA pour Apollo va croître dès 1964 et culminé jusqu'en 1967. Le coût final sera en fait le double… BUDGET APOLLO = 16 101 368, CSM = 3 443 874, LM = 2 007 000.
The lunar module or LM (Lunar Module) is the space vehicle used (1961-1972) to land on the moon with two crew members of the Apollo vessel, scientific equipment, to allow them to stay from two to four days before taking off to join the command and service module (CSM) remained in lunar orbit and responsible for bringing the crew back to Earth. The design and construction of the lunar module was carried out under the supervision of the Grumman aerospace company between 1962 and 1969. Fifteen lunar modules were built, ten of which flew and six landed on lunar soil during the period 1969-1972. The lunar module of the Apollo 13 mission saved the crew by replacing the failed Command and Service Module. The lunar module's cockpit housed all the controls needed to maneuver the vehicle during descent, ascent and docking. The command post was on the left, the LM pilot on the right. All critical instruments were duplicated in two positions or accessible to both astronauts. The optical alignment telescope centered above the flight station was an essential part of the LM's guidance and navigation system. By comparing the angles and distances between the stars, the astronauts were able to determine the precise position of the LM in space. This life-size replica of a LM cockpit was one of the many aircraft used by Apollo crews during mission preparations. Known as the LM Trainer, the device is equipped with displays and controls identical to those of a real LM. Astronauts trained with a special jet capable of simulating low gravity conditions. The lunar module was so small that the astronauts were flying it upright. At a height of 7 meters, the LM Apollo surprises with its imposing size and iconic aesthetics. The two astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have almost never taken off again to join the command module remained in orbit (where the third astronaut, Michael Collins was waiting for them). After their lunar exit, they returned to the LEM and removed their very cumbersome suit. One of the astronauts then broke the button on the dashboard to start the engine of the machine! Fortunately, Aldrin had a pen in his suit. The two astronauts did some DIY and pushed the pen where the button was to activate the command. " With an initial cost of 8 billion ($), Apollo will finally reach 20 billion (price in the year 2000). Part on the hats of wheel, the budget given to NASA for Apollo will grow as early as 1964 and peaked until 1967. The final cost will be in fact the double ... BUDGET APOLLO = 16 101 368, CSM = 3 443 874, LM = 2,007,000.
