That would be great! Thanks!
Maybe we could also make the model for STS-120 (ISS 10A) - upcoming late October.
These are the changes BEFORE that mission:
* PMA-3 was relocated on August 30 from port side of Unity (Node 1) to nadir (earth-facing) port of Unity. For the orientation of PMA-3 you can look at photos of Discovery's rendezvous and docking to ISS during STS-120 or watch the video file of NASA's STS-120 Mission and Spacewalk Overview Briefings from Sept. 14 >>>

* In October, before launch of STS-120, the two solar arrays of Zarya module will be retracted to make place for the deployment of the final radiators of P1 and S1 trusses.
These are the changes DURING STS-120:
* Harmony (Node 2) will be installed to port side of Unity (Node 1). That is a temporary position for Node 2 until Discovery has left the station.
* After that, the P6 truss will be disconnected from the Z1 truss on top of the station and moved to the end of the truss structure on the port side where P6 will be installed to its final location on P5 truss.
* While P6 truss is in the so called "overnight park position" on the stations robotic arm before the truss will be mated to P5, the last two S1 radiators will be deployed. So all the three S1 truss radiators are deployed from that time.
* After P6 truss was installed to P5, the P6 radiator will be deployed. It's the radiator parallel to the P4 radiator
* Then the P6 truss solar arrays 2B and 4B will be deployed
These are the changes AFTER STS-120:
* The ISS crew will disconnect the PMA-2 (currently planned for November 7) from U.S. Lab Destiny and connect it to the front port of Node 2 Harmony.
* After that, Node 2 (with PMA-2 added) will be mated to its final location at front port of U.S. Lab Destiny (currently planned for Nov. 9)
So at this time the ISS-10A stage will be completed.
