Zvezda Service Module under construction (NASA)

• The Zvezda Service Module, the first fully Russian contribution and third element to the International Space Station (ISS), is shown under construction in the Krunichev State Research and Production Facility (KhSC) in Moscow. Russian technicians work on the module shortly after it completed a pressurization test. In the foreground is the forward portion of the module, including the spherical transfer compartment and its three docking ports. The forward port docked with the connected Functional Cargo Block, followed by Node 1. Launched via a three-stage Proton rocket on July 12, 2000, the Zvezda Service Module serves as the cornerstone for early human habitation of the Station, providing living quarters, life support system, electrical power distribution, data processing system, flight control system, and propulsion system. It also provides a communications system that includes remote command capabilities from ground flight controllers. The 42,000-pound module measures 43 feet in length and has a wing span of 98 feet. It is made from steel. Similar in layout to the core module of Russia's Mir space station, it contains 3 pressurized compartments and 13 windows that allow ultimate viewing of Earth and space.

Swesda oder DOS-8 ist das russische Wohn- und Navigationsmodul der Internationalen Raumstation (ISS), gebaut von RKK Energija. Das Modul war ursprünglich jedoch für die Mir und die Mir-2 vorgesehen. Der Start erfolgte am 12. Juli 2000 mit einer Proton-K-Trägerrakete vom Kosmodrom Baikonur. Danach steuerte Swesda als drittes Modul mit seinen eigenen Triebwerken zum bereits im Orbit befindlichen Sarja-Unity-Verbund. .. weiterlesen
