Talk:Mini-Research Module 1 (MRM1)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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Oops, never mind, just found a reference that says it's totally the other way around and that the above-linked chart is out-of-date!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)


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)

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
