Node 3 is going to have a "cupola" window.<br /><br />Now in NASA's interactive thingy on ISS it mentioned that the cupola is to be a "flight deck".<br /><br />In planes flight deck is akin to the bridge on ships.<br /><br />As far as I am aware right now, the station they control the ISS can be from almost anywhere since it can be done via laptop (correct me if I'm wrong). So how is the cupola going to incorporate the functions of a flight deck?<br /><br />Also the cupola is supposed to have controls for the robotic arm. So how is that going to work? <br /><br />A side question:<br /><br />As I understand it, Zvesda had the first flight contols of the ISS. Does it presently function as flight controls? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>
