Wow!

Don’t know how I missed this app... but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for ever since a mysterious new gold disc array showed up on the HDEV experiment a couple months ago. I couldn’t find a 3D model to give a clue as to where located... looks like it’s attached to Columbus ESA module between the camera and the Soyuz capsules (rear facing camera).

Thanks NASA et al 🖖 !!

Must download app! If you love CAD, you’ll love this!

This ISS app is amazing. I love how it’s components are visualized in computer aided design format, with great accuracy to the current configuration and informative annotations to each component respectively.
