ISS: modules Unity, Zarya and Zvezda 10/2000 - ISS: modules Unity, Zarya and Zvezda 10/2000 - The international space station shortly before docking with the shuttle Discovery. 12/10/2000. Not long before the link - up of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle used a handheld 70 mm camera to grab this image of the station. Backdropped against the blackness of space, all the current elements are visible, though this particular angle makes them difficult to delineate. Nearest the camera is the Progress supply ship, attached to the service module or Zvezda, which connects to the functional cargo block (FGB) or Zarya. At the top or far end in this vew is the U.S. - built Unity Node 1. Once the STS - 92 crew completed its work, the addition of the Z1 Truss and a third pressurized mating adapter changed the appearance considerably. Oct 12 2000
