It's interesting to see some differences between the US-and-everyone-else and Russian part. One that was most striking to me is cabling and piping between modules: on the Russian side, the pipes go through the hatches, which complicates closing the hatches but makes the cables and pipes easier to access/repair and makes it easier to install new ones. On the other side, there are no pipes or cables going through hatches.
There's also a hatch in the deck of Unity that seems to have nothing on the other side (the one labelled Hab). Is it a place where a module will be added?
- sudhirj 11y agoProbably stands for Habitat. I could see bunks anywhere else. I doubt the astronauts want to show living quarters. Not much privacy as it is.
- robryk 11y agoI mean the hatch in the middle of Unity's floor. It appears to have space on the other side and is closed. They do show living quarters in Node 2 -- there is even a video of the interior.
