Project International Docking Adapter

[dave1705]

I recently stumbled upon some good news. There are spare parts to build IDA-3 and NASA plans ultimately having two adapters on the station.

Hello everyone,
IDA 2 will soon be installed on the ISS after being delivered by Dragon CRS-9 flight.

Is your project finished ?
OH on a download-up is coming ?

Thank you in advance for your work :thumbup:

Hi,

No, my project not finished yet. I'm working on it. But I will only upload a zip file here to the forum when I'm finished with my current work, I think.

Thank you Dave,
eager to see your final work

I download IDA from the first page.
I can not fix the IDA pMA2
Can you tell me the rows for this fixation on the LDCs Harmony.

thank you in advance :thumbup:

If you are using ISS AtoZ.

DOCKINFO 1:1,Harmony

Yeah, it's upside down... if you meant that.

You have to change in Config\Vessels\IDA.cfg file the marked '1' to '-1'.

Good evening friends

Thank you for your advice, I'll test it all. :thumbup:

Good evening everyone,
after installation is the result of the PMA2 ISS

Thank you for your advice, I am waiting for your latest small updates

 

[pappy2]

Hello everyone,
a little feedback on this thread of discussions

Now that IDA-3 is installed on ISS PMA3, do you have the latest update and lines to be able to fix the module on the Donamy ISS A2Z.

thank you in advance

Adding the International Docking Adapter 3 to the ISS

1. (Skip No. 1 if this line is already present) open the file Config/Spacecraft/Harmony.ini and add a new docking port:

  [DOCK_4] :to PMA3 zenith
  POS = (0.00,-4.289,2.509)
  DIR = (0,-1,0)
  ROT = (0,0,1)

2. Create IDA-3 then add it to your ISS A2Z scenario:

  IDA-3:IDA
    STATUS Orbiting Earth
    DOCKINFO 1:4,Harmony
  END

Now your ISS is historically accurate as of August 2019

EXTRAORDINARY

Thank you "Gargantua 2024" :thumbup:
ISS is now updated August 2019

Thanks Gargantua2024, minor correction: direction has to be DIR = (0,1,0)

Is the EP still attached to the POA ?

 

[ThBaron]

I think the HTV 7 Exposed Pallete must still be attached to POA as it was used during EVA 54 in April 2019. In the EVA 55 NASA briefing animation it's there (August 2019). Old batteries are attached and will be disposed. I suppose with HTV 8.

Update:
According to 'ISS On-Orbit Status Report', the operations with the HTV 7 and 8 pallets are now transparent: On 09/30/19 the EP of HTV 7 was detached from the POA with the SSRMS and attached to the JEM-RMS. Then the EP of HTV 8 was pulled out of the Unpressurized Logistics Carrier (ULC) and attached to POA. On 10/01/90 the EP of HTV 7 was detached from the JEM-RMS and pushed into the Unpressurized Logistics Carrier of HTV 8. So the EP of HTV 7 will burn up with HTV 8.

Hi awesome IDA, how can this be fixed? or does it not work with the Shuttle... can the docking section on the Shuttle be change? For it to dock in a normal position and if yes how do I do that please? thank you.
