| Thanks to you for supplying the captions. Thanks to Marc Passy in
Illinois, US and Robert Spieler Klagenfurt in Austria for guessing last weeks image. Thanks to all of the other readers who suggested an explanation.
Last week's image shows a double keel design for the International space Station when it was called Freedom, from the 1980s and in view is a concept of what the European Columbus module could look like, from the Italian aerospace company, Aeritalia. It's now called Alenia Aeronautica. Also in view are modules from NASA and Japan's then National Space Development Agency of Japan, now called the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. |
