Marscenter ISS

underwoodl06 · 03-30-2008, 10:09 PM

Hey everyone, I am in the midst of completeing Mr. Fortezza's model of the ISS that he has graciously offered to everyone on his website. (I would post pictures if I knew how (can anyone give me a little help with this?))

Now I want to make the full station as it is now orbiting above us. So I plan on designing my own pieces for the station that are not included with the version on Mr. Fortezza's site. The first pieces I want information on:

RMS (Canadarm 2) dimentions and pictures
Truss segment pieces with dimentions and pictures of each

thanks for your help everyone!!!

sir you can try NASA's Human Spaceflight webpage for on orbit pics, also they offer a scale model drawing set for major ISS pieces...

I'm also making the MARSCenter ISS, and was planning to make my own parts to add, but with sir Alfonso's ISS starting to cook up, I may resize the parts to match the MARSCenter offering

I was planning on the same thing as well.. but I had only originally planned to resize the Harmony module (don't know how to do that either(need help)) and then resize some of the modules available on the internet to make the other modules like Columbus and Kibo as well as Node 3.

Could you please give me a link to the site you refferred to above please?

that would be - NASA Human Space Flight

Go to gallery - choose from the ISS or Shuttle gallery

the scale model plan link is on the ISS gallery

Thanks Hans. Though I am still accepting anything I can get. I need EVERYTHING I can to help make this thing. I plan on finishing this before the end of this summer so I can keep it current.

Hans Christian · 03-31-2008, 08:13 AM

Here's a quick guide, use the NASA scale model plans for the dimensions, then use pics from the Shuttle gallery, choose from the missions that were responsible for bringing these pieces up...

Also, don't forget to check out the ISS Expeditions gallery, they also have some fine pic angles that are sometimes not available from the Shuttle gallery

To post a picture you can use the papercliop looking thingy at the top of the reply window to attache a picture from your computer.
Click on the paper clip,
Browse your computer to find the picture,
highlight it and choose Open then you can upload it to this forum's server.

Another way is to open a free account at someplace like one of the following:

Photo Bucket

Village Photos

Ripway

You store the photo on one of those sites by uploading to it from your computer. They will then generate the code needed to post a picture in a message on various types of forums. You just copy that code and paste into your message.

Hello everybody!I'm doing too the station but it's stopped now becausse I've done nearly all the model of marscenter, also I'm interest too if someone find something to continue my project. I've tried to put harmony from axm paper in the right scale but the quality is too bad (big pixels) but I'll try to make a mix with the marscenter version and maybe it'will be nearly correct!For the other elements it's a big problem! The truss for example will not be easy to do!I'll try to do it with toothpicks but I' have not the time now...If someone find or have a solution to continue the station,please say it! For example underwoodl 06, your designs are welcome! You can see the evolution of my work on my blog Maquette de la Station Spatiale Internationale en papier ! Bye gregmclaren

underwoodl06 · 03-31-2008, 10:34 PM

hey everyone, thanks for the great replies so far. I am glad to see many interested in the project. Now I need to know where I can get a program that I can design the pieces at the right scale and be able to print them at the right scale. I also need to be able to make the conical sections of the modules so if anyone knows any good programs feel free to share.

(and I clicked the paper clip but nothing happens. just a 'blip' sound is all)

Hans Christian · 03-31-2008, 11:02 PM

Its a beaut' sir Greg!

underwoodl06 · 03-31-2008, 11:19 PM

hmmm now I am having a bit of trouble here. S0 truss is different according to several pictures. in this picture Photo-jsc2002e11430 it appears as only a half hexagon, but this picture suggests a hexagon shape. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/...2003e64499.jpg

am I missing something here?

underwoodl06 · 03-31-2008, 11:29 PM

I can finally share my photos of my ISS as it is today.(actually I'll have to get photos of it with Quest attached..these images were taken while Quest was being made) Enjoy!!!!

Hans Christian · 03-31-2008, 11:34 PM

The S-0 Truss is actually a mix of both, take a cross section in the middle, and its a complete hexagonal shape, but take a look at the port and starboard sides of the truss (to where the S/P-1 trusses are installed), and its only a half hexagon...

You can also look at the plans for the complete picture of the shape

Nice work BTW on the ISS!!!

I still have to finish the P-6 truss here later, and then do Destiny ASAP

I may not build Quest yet until sir Alfonso delivers the SSRMS to us

(I can make my own Canadarm 2, but maybe I'll stick to the more detailed one

)

underwoodl06 · 03-31-2008, 11:47 PM

sounds great. ^^ I am glad to hear others are doing the model other than me. It is a magnificant model and I hope to complete the plans and keep an up dated version hanging up. (hope it won't fall o.o)

Hans Christian · 04-01-2008, 11:03 AM

I started mine abput 5 years ago (during my freshman college days), tried to update it once, starting from the P-6 truss, but after that, the assembly stalled...

I just restared it last january, I replaced the old P-6 truss I made back then with a new, better looking (and crisper) build... and Atlantis, which was also made 5 years ago has been treated with new skins to make it look better... also nearing finish...

I'll put in Quest in the cargo bay after doing Destiny, and will install it on the ISS after the arrival of sir Alfonso's SSRMS

(to admins, can this thread be moved to the real space section, so that more people can see it?
