An article on ISS truss construction
It's a little old, but I ran across this last night:
http://www.pubs.asce.org/ceonline/0400feat.html An article from Civil Engineering Magazine, April 2000, on the truss segments as seen from an engineering perspective. Quite interesting, to me at least. -- -Andrew Gray |

http://www.pubs.asce.org/ceonline/0400feat.html
An article from Civil Engineering Magazine, April 2000, on the truss segments as seen from an engineering perspective. Nice article. It starts out with the overall station program summary (e.g. started with more on-orbit assembly, went towards modules with more hardware integrated on the ground), which should be familiar to many of the people on this group. But then it proceeds to talk more about some of the truss issues. Not really an in depth article, but it has some good tidbits about various things. I especially liked the part about design lifetime. |

I enjoyed the article as well, but I hope that we'll get to look at a followup someday where they compare the predicted and measured responses. /dps |

Are we that boring? I found it interesting as well. I just read a history of a local lumber yard. Having sold lumber at one time, it was interesting to see how the technology changed. I don't care what Brett Hutchens says- PC+2 burns *are* interesting. |
