fresh from sir Alfonso's site!!!

(I just had to post them here!)

My eyes nearly popped out after seeing these!!! They look WAAAYY better (and more realistic) than I thought!!!

These are just draft models, as indicated at his site, so the final versions may look better than these...

stay TUNED

Fabs · 02-14-2008, 03:44 PM

Awesome...as usual with Mister Alfonso!!!

littlemodeler · 02-14-2008, 09:19 PM

Thats awesome!! keep up the hard work! can't wait to see the rest of it!!!

jparenti · 02-19-2008, 05:12 AM

Oh, good! I was hoping to see this soon. I need an ISS model and I have neither the dexterity nor the time for the Fortezza model. (Stupid stubby fingers. Maybe someday...)

Hans Christian · 02-19-2008, 06:29 AM

What I've been waiting to see after 5 years...

for us ISS fans, here's one good treat from NASA...

whatever sir Alfonso's making now, its going to be B-I-G

now imagine the station after STS-119... sigh...

Hans Christian · 02-21-2008, 03:40 AM

Guys, the first official piece of the ISS is finally online, as sir Alfonso released Node 2 for FREE

Come and get it!!!

littlemodeler · 02-22-2008, 04:03 PM

thats awesome!!! um for free? does this mean that the rest of the station won't be free?

Hans Christian · 02-22-2008, 09:33 PM

The ISS would ba available for purchase as it was originally planned

Hans Christian · 02-23-2008, 05:44 AM

People!!! Its finally here!!! Sir Alfonso's ISS modules are starting to arrive!!!

and the second one to arriveis the newest addition to the station, the good old (or new

) Columbus Orbital Facility!!!

jparenti · 02-26-2008, 12:52 AM

It's time for me to get started then.

Hans Christian · 02-26-2008, 04:22 AM

I can now commence on writing that FSM article

NYC Irish · 02-26-2008, 10:55 AM

Maybe not the place for it but does anyone know if the ISS has the ability to use its "Arm" to transfer an outside experiment package from say the Columbus to the Airlock for retrieval by personel inside?

Or does someone have to take a walk out there?

paulhbell · 02-26-2008, 03:03 PM

Ask on here NASA SpaceFlight.com someone give you the correct answer. But I don't think it can.

AXM61 · 02-26-2008, 03:59 PM

Hi Paul,

Please read this article from the Canadian Space Agency. It's about the next mission that will carry the DEXTRE mechanism.

CSA - Dextre (Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator)

I think this robotic arm will do that and more.

Alfonso

Hans Christian · 02-27-2008, 01:58 AM

I agree, I don't think the SSRMS alone can do that, either somebody dons a suit and go outside, or use Dextre, or a combination of both

Hmmm... that reminds me, is Robonaut going up there? From what I understand about it, it is intended for ISS operations in tandem with astronauts, or can be used alone for emergency EVAs...
