Request Unused ISS modules

[padrat42]

During the design of ISS there has been a few modules that have not been constructed or constructed and not used like the Interim Control Module which was constructed but not used or the US Propulsion Module; (there were many ideals about that but no hardware constructed),Transhab, X-38,Entrprise Module from Russia and the list goes on and on. I figure having these modules to make your own space station. Your thoughts Anyone?

Us Propulsion module/Interim Control Module was never needed. It was to have flown if Russia couldn't finish zvezda or if zvezda was lost during launch.

Yes I know. The point is to fly them in Orbiter as parts for another space station.

It also might be useful for someone wanting to do alternate history missions.

It seems implementable as a simple Sc3 vessel.

We are also in need of a proper, animated transhab.

I wonder if the ISSU team could develope them too... For building the ORIGINAL ISS

The original plan for a space station is very different to the current ISS.

This was one suggestion -> http://www.astronautix.com/craft/duan1985.htm

That was not really the ISS per se. That plan was for Space Station Freedom, a planned U.S.-only space station during the 80s. Budget cuts among other things forced its cancellation before plans for it were eventually consolidated with the planned Russian Mir-2 Space Station.
