Title:
The Newly Expanded International Space Station
Explanation:
What does the developing International Space Station [ http://www.shuttlep…] (ISS) look like now? After delivering and deploying a crucial first backbone-like component [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] last week, the Space Shuttle [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] Atlantis [ http://science.ksc.…] took an inspection lap around the space station [ http://www.boeing.c…]. The newly installed truss is visible toward the center of the above image [ http://spaceflight.…]. Also visible are many different types of modules [ http://spaceflight.…], a robotic arm [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…], several wing-like solar panels [ http://www.qrg.nwu.…], and a supply ship. Construction began on the ISS [ http://spaceflight.…] in 1998 and the core structure [ http://www.howstuff…] should be in place before 2005.
