Alternate US control module?
Hi folks. I've been looking at the evolution of the space station project and I
thought I would avail myself of the expertise found here. I've been wondering-- if the US had undertaken ISS without the Russians (presumably at a 28.5 degree orbit and following the current design absent Russian modules), what might have replaced the FGB as control module? I assume either Bus-1 or ICM would be candidates yet, AFAIK, neither could provide power or thermal control to early components (e.g. Node 1). Any thoughts? ----------------------- Thanks in advance. |

Bus-1, at least in Option A. Power would have been taken care of by
building the station truss-first, with the nodes and labs coming later, as envisioned in the SSF assembly sequences. Thanks much. Would you know where on the web I might find Bus-1 specs and the proposed Option A assembly sequence? Rgrds-- EHylant |
