Zvezda Service Module

Step aboard and explore the International Space Station's Russian living and working quarters!

The real Zvezda Service Module is the first fully Russian contribution to the International Space Station and serves as the early cornerstone for the first human habitation of the station.  The module provides the early station living quarters, electrical power distribution and life support, data processing, flight control and propulsion systems. It also provides a communications system that includes remote command capabilities from ground flight controllers. (Note: creative license has been taken on the placement of the Solar Array due to a client's particular exhibit alignment.)
