Description
ML Relocation
With all the component elements of the VBSP-1 now safely locked together in Earth orbit and final on-board systems check-out completed it is time for the first of the stations new visitors to make an appearance. Un-docked from the nearby International Space Station and moved the short distance to the VBSP-1 the ML-1 and ML-2 spacecraft will be firstly linked to two of the miniature space station’s remote docking arms before both spacecraft and remote docking arms are disengaged from the station and moved off a short distance to a free-float parking location nearby until they are needed at some point in the not too distant future.
The locations of the disengaged ML spacecraft and other additional elements which have yet to find their way into space will be constantly monitored 24/7 by the astronauts onboard the VBSP-1 via its Mission Control centre. Using this system the VBSP-1’s mass can be kept to a minimum without the need for constant re-boasts.
Here ends the next section.
To be continued.

Great render!
Very well done. Thank you. 5+!
Excellent sci-fi space render my friend.
'Free floating parking lot' hope it's not 'Pay & Display', what a pain going out every couple of hours to feed the meter :-) Another excellent chapter Phil...some quite remarkable models born from an amazing imagination...truly brilliant story, if only they'd do it....tele ratings would be astronomical. I look forward to the return..(even if I do get a bit behind, sorry about that!)..
