Pages: 1 Ralf Vandebergh Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/25/06 ISS March 20/ new S6 truss segm with solar arrays       #2994851 - 03/20/09 05:49 PM Attachment (115 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   subject: 2009/03/20_ISS with new S6 truss and arrays _____________________________________________ The backbone of the ISS is complete now with the attachement of the new S6 truss segment which was carried to the station by the spaceshuttle Discovery at STS-119. Already visible in this view from March 20 are the fully deployed S6 solar arrays.The deployment was completed just a few hours before the pass. Also as sign of the S6 truss element itself is visible.Images will in future certainly show nicer views of the solar arrays,the position to the observer wasn't optimal in this image.Also I chose for a frame showing als the shuttle with open payload bay doors clearly.Another nice detail is the Canadarm 2. Imaging details as always: 10inch Newtonian manually tracked using a 6x30 viewfinder. _________________ Ralf Vandebergh Edited by Ralf Vandebergh (03/21/09 07:48 AM) Post Extras:       Ralf Vandebergh Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/25/06 Re: ISS new S6 truss with solar arrays *DELETED* *DELETED* [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #2994862 - 03/20/09 05:59 PM Attachment (70 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Here is a version without the labels: Edited by Ralf Vandebergh (03/21/09 07:52 AM) Post Extras:       FoxK Carpal Tunnel Reged: 11/07/07 Loc: Cape Cod, MA Re: ISS new S6 truss with solar arrays [Re: Ralf Vandebergh]       #2994963 - 03/20/09 06:58 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great image, as always. Did you notice any over-all increase in brightness at all with a big increase of reflective surface area? Regarding my PM...I forgot your using a Newt so the image was flipped Post Extras:       Freddy WILLEMS Postmaster Reged: 11/13/05 Loc: Hawaii, Honolulu Re: ISS new S6 truss with solar arrays [Re: FoxK]       #2995297 - 03/20/09 11:31 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Can't wait to capture a pass over here...
