Oh we heard what they were saying and could actually identify who from our team was talking. But then that night they were goofing around so much that night it was hard not to hear. There were so few people in the hab over the weekend we were there that noone seemed to care if you didnt go to bed or made noise at night.

Well yes, us girls can be loud in the Hab at night. Well, I think the Hab has good acoustics or something because you can hear just about everything that makes noise after the general populus has gone to bed.

True i dont think it would take yelling too loud to here one person say something at one end of the hab with you at the other yeah they would have to be loud but that place has great acoustics for carrying sound.

Well its great acoustics could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. In the early morning when the little campers are running around through the hab and slamming doors, it really really isn't a good thing.

Thats very true it can get a little too noisy at times in there. But then the space station isnt always quiet either.

But there are only 3, or in the current case 2 people in the space station. There are hundreds of kids in the hab when it is full. I am sure the adults in the space station at least respect sleepy time and try not to make too much noise.

Actually i wasnt really referring to the noise the crew makes although that could also keep you up if they are working and you are sleeping. But the sation itself is noisy from the machinery onboard but they have made some improvements and quieted it dowen some.

Oh, my bad. Well at least they have made it a little quieter for the people on board.

Well since the station is larger now it helps. Early on the russian components had some very noisy equipment espceially Zarya but the second mission to the ISS did some work to improve that.

Wasn't the Zarya one the piece they were talking about in the movie um Space Station? I don't know, but I remember seeing that IMAX.

That movie talks about alot on the space station i'm sure Zarya is mentioned. It was the first piece launched afterall.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:15 pm

Yeah they talked about that and the people that went there to fix it up and make all the switches work and so that they had communications and stuff. I think I remember now that it was Zarya.

Well Zarya's capabilities were stretched out quite a bit because Zvezda was delayed so long. And that meant Zarya had to keep the station up and runninf till Zvezda could be launched to take over control of the station.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Yep Zarya was designed to be a temporary control module for the station and was launched first. Then Unity was taken up and connected by Endeavour. Then there were 2 shuttle flights sent up just to outfit the station and reboost as nessecary while zvezda was being completed the second of which was originaly supose to make all the witing conections between zvezda and zarya but zvezda was delayed so it wasnt till a later flight that they did all the connections. So once it was up there zvezda took over the control module function.

I think in the IMAX Space Station it was the missions that were sent up to figure out what was going on and make it all work. Wait no I think it was when they were wiring the station. THat was a cool IMAX.

Actually that film covers several of the Early ISS missions and if i remember right the first 2 station crews as well.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Mon May 26, 2003 12:32 am

Yes. I was just trying to figure out what the people that were wiring the thing and making it all work were doing. Like what mission it was and what parts they were working on. It does go through one of the crew exchanges I do believe.

Well i know the first shuttle to go to the ISS which is the one that connected Unity and Zarya was STS-88. The next mission that delivered equipment and helped fixed some of the problems was STS-96 beyond that youd havbe to look at the NASA web page to get an idea of what missions are seen in the movie. I noticed 95 wasnt included because it did very little actual construction.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Mon May 26, 2003 11:32 am

Maybe I am thinking of when they Connected Unity and Zarya. Or maybe not. All I remember is when they got up there, they didn't really know what to expect, but they tried to put all this stuff together and then they did a crew exchange.
