credit ESA / caption: another major module for station is ready to go
Tomorrow Hyperbola will be attending the Tranquility Node 3 departure ceremony from Thales Alenia Space’s Turin facility and so expect some live twittering and maybe a podcast (and even video) come Monday, hopefully with NASA International Space Station (ISS) programme manager Michael Suffredini and European Space Agency human spaceflight director Simonetta Di Pippo
The above graphic shows the ISS Node 3 Tranquility in its a previously planned location on station with other parts of the ISS identified. For more ISS info go here for ESA’s website and here for NASA’s. For previous Hyperbola ISS related posts go here and for archive Flight material about the 20 plus-year development of the station, go here
While on 20 May US journalists will get to see Tranquility upon its arrival at Kennedy Space Center and ESA that day will be announcing its new astronauts
