§o you are stating that SpaceX already have an adaptor to carry modules

fairing for it ? (along with power/data to keep heaters and telemetry
running during flight).


You understand that they launch satellites on the ****ing things,
right? You don't have to keep anything "running during flight". The
Shuttle didn't.

MPLM wasn't an ISS module. It was a cargo pod. They call that
'Dragon' now.

Destiny is 4.2 meters in diameter and 8.4 meters long. The standard
payload fairing for Falcon vehicles is 4.6 meters in internal diameter
with an internal length of 11 meters. Over the last 3.3 meters of
height the internal diameter narrows clear down to 1.45 meters in a
linear fashion. So something as long as Destiny with that diameter
won't quite fit (with a 4.2 meter diameter requirement the maximum
length is about 7.1 meters). So if you have to replace it you build
it in two pieces. Yes, this is rocket science, but it's rocket
science someone in Jr High ought to be able to do.

Note that none of this information is difficult to find.

You know, the point of this newsgroup, being in the sci hierarchy, is
DISCUSSION, not "I'm going to ask stupid questions and expect you all
to look up the answers that I could just as easily look up myself".
