The engineering mockup of the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) module is currently on display within the press building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The RRM mission is a joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies, and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space. Reporters have the opportunity to get a close-up view of the replica module and tools that are a part of the final shuttle mission payload.
SSCO engineers test an RRM tool.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

A module for a planned micropolis skyscraper. Not exactly something unique or fancy pancy, but less waste of parts, compared to my other similar builds. There is still room for improvement, but I have chosen parts that I have plenty of. At first I used a technic brick 6x8 instead of regular 1x8 bricks. It is a bit sturdier, but I do not want a rectangular section. They are probably unnecessary anyway.
It is somewhat influenced by Max Braun's supertall - Weiss Tower. I often use grille tiles as windows, but two-by-two in the corners is new to me. I generally prefer 1x1, but then I have horizontal plates outermost in the facade. Now I want a tall, modular tower with a cleaner look and fewer parts. The curtain wall will cover every side, with either a plate 6x12 or 6x24, covered with grille tiles. I usually place the curtain wall half a plate from the outer edge, but here it is flush with the corners.
Part list:
12x Plate 1x1, 3024
2x Plate 1x6, 3666
4x Plate 1x8, 3460
1x Plate 8x8, 41539
4x Plate 6x12, 3028
8x Brick 2x2x3, 30145
16x Brick 2x2 Corner, 2357
4x Brick 1x8, 3008
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2 Inverted, 99780
8x Bracket 1x2 - 1x2, 99781
144x Tile, Modified 1x2 Grille, 2412
And one is a Tabletop Crawfish Support Module. Our pond scum expedition netted (literally, heh) a tiny crawfish. We'll see what happens.

The same module is used for the 4-Piece model [left] and 8 Pajaritas #2 [top]. There is only a slight modification to the module for the latter.

The LM was built by Grumman Aircraft and designed by aerospace engineer Thomas J. Kelly. It was comprised of an octagon-shaped descent stage with landing gear and an irregular-shaped ascent stage that contained the instrument panels and flight controls. The ascent and descent stages measured a combined 18 feet in height (22 feet with the antennas), 14 feet in width and 13.3 feet in depth. Early versions had three landing legs, large windows, seats, and a forward docking port. The three-leg configuration was light but unstable, therefore, a four-leg solution was chosen. The large windows, seats, and additional docking port were removed. Crew in the LM would stand and have smaller viewports for piloting. The removal of the docking port meant that the lunar orbit rendezvous was in the hands of the Command Module Pilot.
The shape and size of the LM was difficult to capture accurately at minifig scale. The limited size and variety of the Lego blocks available posed a challenge to accurately render the complex shapes of the LM.

Playing around with Dirk Eisner's Square Cross Modules. 4 modules folded from 2x1 rectangles [15cm x 7.5cm] are assembled. 2 mountain folds are applied to the modules to form a box-like model and finally, 2 other 2x1 rectangles are inserted into each other to form form a cylinder which is inserted inside the model for better stability.

Thanks to Dirk Eisner for sharing his module.

The kitchen module. In a lot of ways this was the most complex section. Again the goal was a screen accurate representation. I absolutely did not want large blocky shelves, fridge etc. And space is tight here.
I'm very impressed with the results even if I do say so myself.
The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.

On Friday 26 November, astronauts on board the International Space Station welcomed the final Russian module, Prichal, This Node Module provides additional docking ports for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov oversaw it's docking to the Russian segment.

A service module attaches to a crew module and is the powerhouse that fuels and propels the spacecraft, providing electricity via solar panels and batteries. It remains connected to the crew module until just before the capsule returns to the Earth. Orion’s service module for Exploration Mission-1 mission will be provided by the European Space Agency under a partnership agreement. The service module will provide storage for oxygen tanks as well as other important life support system components. The solar arrays attached to the service module collect and transport energy to charge the batteries on the crew module.

Small updates as I near completion. I used brick texture styrene to create a rudimentary stencil which I used on the black panelling to add thermal brick texture.
Then today I shaped the command bridge from Delrin before detailing it in the usual way- textured paper and resin. I also realised that the windows on all the modules were way oversized and betrayed the scale making the ship look disproportionate, so I painted over them and drew them back in by hand. Another pass of brushwork and airbrushing to increase tonality and textures also helped bring more life into the ship.
The final parts to focus on are the spherical joints, I've used LEGO 2x2 dishes with tank wheels kitbashed on, and some resin pieces on the 'docking spheres' on four joints, but the backs and insides of the spheres are proving to be a pain...
