Description
Once again the space shuttle Atlantis visits the ever growing International Space Station with the crew tasked with the job of delivering and installing the first starboard Truss Segment (S1). Also delivered and installed as part of the STS-112 mission were additional cooling radiators (*) and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid, commonly referred to as "The Cart" which allows astronauts to move along the truss system during EVA's (now that's one ride I would love to be able to take).
* On a historical note I have a friend from the States who actually worked for the campany who created the radiator system for the ISS and who was at Kennedy Space Centre to watch the launch of "her" hardware into space.

I always knew this was BIG! but I never realised how many parts there where (are) or how many shuttle trips it took to get it up there.This is fascinating stuff, and your renders bring it all to life.(can't wait to see how you're going to top this :)
