Subject: ISS Assembly Animation

I hope you can get to this. This animation shows the sequence of building
the space station.
If you have any interest in the space program.

It starts from the very first piece of the station.
The bottom left shows the sequence number and the date.
This last space shuttle mission was 10 A part of the assembly---where it is
NOW.

1A/R is American and Russian
2A is American
1E is Europe
1J/A is Japanese/American

After it gets going you can stop it by hitting the double hash mark . It
will change to a diamond. If you hit the diamond again it will start to play
again.
But if after you stop the animation you grab the single hash mark and move
it left it will go backward. Move it right it will go forward.

IE is scheduled for January. This is when the Europeans get involved more
1J/A is scheduled for February. Japanese get involved. What is cool on this
mission they upgrade the robotic arm to be more dexterous

A 5' 8" person would be less than half the 14' 6" diameter of the
average module.

Wow, that is complicated. I got a kick out of the number of units that are
"parked" in one spot and then moved later. Thanks, Harv, for a very
interesting film.

Hi Navy,,, I have a good friend retired from keeping NASA computers running
correctly and updates who knows that I am a big NASA fan nearly all my life.
He sends me lots of stuff about science and what is taking place with
anything going on with NASA. For me,,, a very good friend indeed.
