Image above shows new solar panels still
rolled up, just before deployment during STS-115 in September,
2006. The panels are inside the two tubes visible in the lower
right of the image, to the right of the astronaut. The station's
robotic arm is visible in the upper left. All of the station's
hardware does look expensive and it is but it's at the cutting
edge of technology and very important for the future of humans
in space. The future is here - the astronauts have already seen
it! |
The STS-115 crew returns
to Earth
|
After the space station is complete
and we've returned to the Moon a crew probably very similar to
this one will finally leave Earth for the first trip to Mars
- stay tuned! |
