molniya station 002

EVA from Molniya Station, approx. altitude 1500-1800 kilometers. Taken from distance to show better view of entire complex, including the newly installed inflatable Molniyahab modules seen just forward of the NEP truss.

Molniya Station is a coordinated international effort whose main contributors are Russian, European and Canadian space agencies, with NASA supplying some heavy lift capabilities when allowed by stingy Congresscritters. :p Its orbital period is just over 2 hours, with most of that time spent in sunlight and Van Allen radiation belts. Currently it serves no purpose other than to amuse its creator, and as a Lua testbed for logistics management. =D
