Default French graphic shows free-flying shuttle placing new arrays at end of truss


French graphic shows free-flying shuttle placing new arrays at end of truss,
that will become 'the foundation for the European and Japanese modules'.
And it's using the OBSS to do the installation (or the drawing is left-right
reversed).

Hey, it's a French news agency -- what did you expect, accuracy?

Actually, that graphic is the easiest to understand that I have seen
pointing out what will be added to the station.

I'm more intrigued by the SRBs which are now mounted over the orbiter
wings. Must be one of the RTF modifications I wasn't aware of.

Curiously, this novel SRB configuration seems to appear both the French
graphic, and also in their copy of the mission patch. How'd that
happen?

By comparison:
