Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 14:52, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photo captioned "An artist's impression of the International Space Station's configuration as of January 2016.[dated info] is an out-of-date ISS configuration

Most noticeable to me is that PMM is on Node 3 Fwd, now, but it's depicted on Node 1 Nadir in that photo. The move occurred in May of 2015. Not sure what the best way to revise this is. 2601:2C5:8000:F76:8853:8527:E33C:FDF0 (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result was merge into Assembly of the International Space Station. -- Colds7ream (talk) 09:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to suggest that we merge the ISS assembly sequence article into this one; the main Assembly article has a list of components which is essentially a less complete duplicate of the table that comprises most of the sequence article, and contains more content overall. As a result, I suggest that the sequence article is largely redundant, and propose that its main table be moved to replace the current one here before the sequence article is deleted. Colds7ream (talk) 15:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. the fact that there are two articles is only a sideeffect of their the time at which this information was split from the ISS article if I remember correctly. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I had the same reaction as you when I looked them over. My only comment is that the gallery should go given the already heavy use of images in the combined article. Recognizance (talk) 21:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having heard no dissenting voices, I'll execute the merge now. Colds7ream (talk) 09:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing flight numbers?

The following mission numbers are missing:

2R
14A (in previous Launch manifests this was a Cupola delivery mission)
16A
18A

Alinor (talk) 13:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The assembly sequence was modified post-Columbia, and I believe that 16A and 18A were the delivery flights for the HAB (Habitation Module) and CAM (Centrifuge Accommodations Module). -MBK₀₀₄ 14:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to Plan.F from Dec.2001: 2R is the first Soyouz mission (done on 31.10.2000); 14A is a SPP Solar arrays (canceled), Zvezda MMOD (transfered to another mission, but which exactly?), MT/CETA rails (transfered to another mission, but which exactly?) delivery mission ; 16A is HAB delivery mission (canceled); 18A is CRV delivery mission (canceled). Other missing missions are 9A.1 (SPP delivery, canceled), multiple UF-x missions (currently there are only ULF-x missions) including UF-7 (CAM delivery, canceled). Also missing are 10A.1 (Propulsion module delivery, canceled), 8R (Research Module 1, canceled), 10R (Research Module 2, canceled), 9R (Docking and Stowage Module, canceled). The missing 6R and 7R numbers were envisioned for russian launch of SPP/SPP arrays (moved to Shuttle/9A.1, 14A missions, then canceled). Alinor (talk) 15:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

STS-131 seems to be missing. Salsa man (talk) 22:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK STS-131 does not bring any major component, that's why it is missing from the assembly list, but it is in the List_of_human_spaceflights_to_the_ISS. Alinor (talk) 14:37, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Percent complete calculation

According to Universe Today, following STS-130, the ISS is "the station is now 98 percent complete by volume and 90 percent complete by mass". With three more large modules to add (Leonardo PMM, Rassvet, and Nauka), how do they figure the volume is at 98%? The PMM alone is almost as large as Node 3.

File:ISS March 2009.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:ISS March 2009.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 20, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-11-20. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 21:54, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

This photo of the International Space Station (ISS) was taken during STS-119, a Space Shuttle mission that delivered and assembled the fourth starboard Integrated Truss Segment, and the final set of solar arrays and batteries to the station. Construction of the ISS is still ongoing and is scheduled to complete in December 2011.Photo: NASA

Archive – More featured pictures...

Photo for Rasset and station wrong

Where is Rassvet is this photo? I see the Poisk module since it is attached to zenith port of the Zvezda module but not Rassvet since it is attached to the nadir port. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.166.136.184 (talk) 02:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The only "full profile" view that shows the entire station along with Rassvet is this one, but you can only barely see it.--Craigboy (talk) 02:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some parts if Text horribly outdated

Eg. "The last two shuttle missions will add..." ... No, because there are no more shuttle missions coming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.217.141.156 (talk) 10:55, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't IDA2 in the launch section timeline?

You add BEAM but not IDA2, both SpaceX CRS launches.. why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.184.66.135 (talk) 00:15, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
