the platform’s role is that of an ISS connector, not a transport operator. In an aggregator model, the user’s contract or primary relationship for the ride often lies with the platform itself.

Dubbed “the USB for space,” a robotic connector enabling modular hardware to be attached to spacecraft has been delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) for spaceflight qualification.

This telemetry inspired [Bryan Murphy] and his team to create the ISS MIMIC, a 1:100 scale model of the ISS that reflects its space counterpart. The model, covered by [3D Printing Nerd] after the ...

In addition to testing the robotic connector, the iSSIFQE experiment is expected to shed light on the ISS orbital debris environment. Launchspace Technologies, a Florida company focused on orbital ...

The International Space Station is about to launch into the Lego universe. The orbiting laboratory, which for almost 20 years has hosted a continuous human presence in Earth orbit, is being ...

Pat Acton of Iowa has this month unveiled his 1/26 scale model of the International Space Station (ISS) which he has built using matchsticks, 282,000 of them to be precise. Building the ISS took ...
