I believe the DCM is actually going to be attached to Zvezda, not Zarya. MLM will be attached to Zarya's nadir port. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ISS_configuration_oct-2007_en.svg shows DCM attached to Zvezda. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this, since every website on the internet seems to agree that both DCM and MLM are docked to the same port! The reference, which appears to be a posting on a forum judging by the URL, is broken. I'm just going to change it and hope I'm right.

Oops, never mind, just found a reference that says it's totally the other way around and that the above-linked chart is out-of-date! It looks like getting this right is going to be a major job, so I'll postpone it until I can gather better facts. Xezlec 17:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Updates to the russian ISS plans http://en.rian.ru/russia/20071109/87339260.html This doesn't really say much, but i'll leave it hear for the interested people. --TheDJ (talkcontribs) 23:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just so that people understand. This module is still under continuous design/name/position changes. The current information (most in Russian) that is probably still subject to change:
  • DCM renamed to MRM-1
  • Pirs to be dumped into the atmosphere for burnup before MLM arrives
  • MRM-2 to be added to zenith of Zvezda (a new pirs like module)
  • MRM-1 to be added to nadir Zarya (based on the old Science Power Module)
  • MLM to be added to nadir Zvezda
  • Node3 to be positioned (temporarily?) on portside of Unity

Rassvet on Shuttle...

edit

Why was it decided that the module would be launched by NASA as opposed to the Russian space agency? Was it due to the Shuttle's payload capabilities or international cooperation used in the ISS program? Dreammaker182 (talk) 17:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's basically an exchange of services between NASA and the Russian space agency; NASA carries Rassvet (and MLM outfitting) on the Shuttle, and Russians take US astronauts aboard Soyuz flights. 88.85.134.42 (talk) 22:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Its a little more then that. NASA and Roscosmos had a deal pre-Columbia to carry a module or 2 on shuttle. Post-Columbia it was modified, that shuttle would carry MRM-1 in order to be able to complete the U.S. Orbital segment of the ISS. It actually has nothing to do with RSA carrying NASA astro's, USA is paying Russia ~$52 million/seat. Its more of a barter deal for cargo on Progress, NASA carries Rassvet and Russia delivers some cargo on Progress. There is more in the deal but that's the main jist of it.--NavyBlue84 23:38, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
