I made this a while back, it's a schematic of the pressureised modules currently up there. Hope it helps.<br /><br />PS Pirus should be Pirs, oh and the z truss isn't pressurised and the S0 truss is mounted above destiny.

<br />Yes, it is a database called IMS (Inventory Management System I think). It is not perfect but is supposed to have every nut, screw.... it has not been without problems and the first commander of ISS, Bill Shepard, referred to it as one of the biggest black holes in space. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

My favorite source for ISS information is The International Space Station Familiarization Manual. It is pretty old, 1998, and a lot has changed since then but is pretty detailed and gives you a good place to start looking for more information about specific things because you will know the actual names and acronyms of what to look for. <br /><br />Section 1: Introduction to ISS<br />Section 2: Command and Data Handling<br />Section 3: Electrical Power System Overview<br />Section 4: Communications and Tracking Overview<br />Section 5: Thermal Control System Overview<br />Section 6: Environmental Control and Life Support System Overview<br />Section 7: Guidance, Navigation, and Control Overview<br />Section 8: Robotics Overview<br />Section 9: Structures and Mechanisms Overview<br />Section 10: Payloads Overview<br />Section 11: Extravehicular Activity Overview<br />Section 12: On-Orbit Maintenance Overview<br />Section 13: Flight Crew Systems<br />Section 14: Crew Health Care System<br />Section 15: Operations and Planning<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Thanks! That's a nice document, even if a bit outdated. Makes you appreciate how complex the ISS actually is. Something often overlooked by people.

You are welcome. It sounds like you enjoy reading it as much as I do <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
