📼Video Summary:
The International Space Station (ISS) took over 10 years to construct. Most of the pieces were brought up and assembled by the Space Shuttle. There are two sides to the station - the Russian Orbital Segment and the United States Orbital Segment. On the US side - the modules are connected with the Common Berthing Mechanism or CBM for short. The Space Shuttle used it's robotic arm called the Canadarm - this could lift and move around objects in space. This video summarizes 4 shuttle missions at the beginning stages of construction. STS-88 brought up the Unity Module and attached it to the Russian module Zarya. STS-98 brought up the Destiny Module and attached it to the forward side of Unity. STS-100 brought up the Canadarm2 - which was crucial for constructing the station. STS-104 brought up the Quest Airlock and attached it to the side of the Unity. There is a lot more to the stations construction, maybe we'll cover that in a future video!

You should also learn about the Salyut space stations. Russia's single-module stations that would eventually become the core module of Mir, and then the Zvezda Command Module on the ISS. Also don't neglect US's Skylab as well. Its 50th Anniversary was just this year ^_^

[@Shady-Socks73]

I know there's been skylab, 1st ( I think?). I also remember mir being decommissioned & destroyed by burning up on reentry to earth's atmosphere.

[@k1productions87]

@@Shady-Socks73 While Skylab was the first US space station, Russia beat us to it by a few years with Salyut 1. Unfortunately only one crew visited that station,... and even more unfortunately, all three died on re-entry when an oxygen seal ruptured and vented all their air into space. While there was a Salyut 2 and 3, they are a separate lineage. Salyut 4 is technically the next in line after Salyut 1, and had two successful crews. Salyut 6 is where things started getting interesting, as it was the first station to ever use two separate docking ports, and be able to actually be refueled in flight. It would have five extended duration visits (longer than two months) and a dozen shorter week-long visits. Salyut 7 was essentially a repeat of 6, but was in orbit while the first module of Mir was launched Speaking of Mir, the reason its important to the story is because the core module of Mir was essentially Salyut 8, as it was of the same design. All of the additional modules were based on a cargo extension originally designed for Salyut 7, which they referred to as an FGB. And why is the FGB important? Because the first module of ISS, Zarya, was an FGB module. And afterward, the Zvezda module attached to it, which was essentially Salyut 9. So the beginnings of ISS can trace all the way back to 1971 with the first Salyut space station module, and its ill-fated crew. Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev, their memory living on in the aft-most module of the International Space Station.

[@ChadEnglishPhD]

Great video and it brings back a lot of memories. I supported 16 of these assembly missions including 6 from NASA JSC Mission Control Center, right up to 2007. An interesting component of berthing and assembly you didn't get into in the video is how you align the modules and why it took so long to bring them together. It wasn't like dock an aircraft to a gate with ground crew guiding alignment with light batons saying to move left or right. There were several methods used including centerline berthing cameras and alignment targets. The system I was supporting was the Space Vision System that used all of those black and white targets all over the modules. SVS used the Space Shuttle cameras in the payload bay to track the targets on both the incoming module and the module on the ISS it is attaching to, and calculated the relative position and orientation (x, y, z, yaw, pitch, roll) 30 times per second. It had to berth slowly because these modules are massive so their inertia was both hard to get moving and hard to stop, and could do a lot of damage if anything collided. Alignment was monitored closely the whole way in. Also, the ISS and shuttle were orbiting the Earth this whole time, so sometimes would traverse from night to day and vice-versa. That could put shadows on targets and make it hard to track all of them at the same time due to dynamic lighting. Pre-flight I had to analyze which targets were important and which could be lost and still perform the operation within spec, and keep an eye on this during berthing operations. The last one in 2007 I supported remotely from my home in Ottawa at 2 AM in my underwear, using telemetry over the internet to my laptop, a cellphone to our MCC team, and NASA TV video streamed over a modded Xbox. When I went back to bed, my girlfriend (now wife of 15 years) asked if I couldn't sleep and I told her that, no, I had gotten up to assemble the international space station. Fun times. :)

The ISS primarily uses rechargeable nickel-hydrogen batteries for storing electrical power generated by its solar panels. These batteries are chosen for their reliability, durability, and ability to withstand the harsh conditions of space. Additionally, some newer lithium-ion batteries have been installed on the ISS to upgrade its power systems. I believe they also have chemical emergency use batteries they can activate if they need to. @@thevictoryoverhimself7298

[@ScaredPilot]

What's important is that most of the major sections of the Russian segment are their own spaceships, they have their own propulsion and attitude control engines so they can maintain their own orbit after launch and even dock with themselves. US-made segments however are not, they are basically giant tin can cabins with science capacity as their primary design objective so they need to be carried to the station by the shuttle and placed onto the station using robot arms.

[@Cais_man]

Of course, this is precisely the idea behind the Russian modules.

[@mangatom192]

Well USSR's Buran didn't really become operational so they didn't have a " ferry" to carry their modules to outer space so they have to have their own propulsion.

[@carcinogen60yearsago]

The Russian side has the propulsion. The US side has all the life support. The point is, it can't be separated. This was done on purpose to keep international cooperation. Which is clearly evident since the Russian Ukraine war.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

​@@mangatom192It did become operational, but it never went into operation. Too expensive.

@@carcinogen60yearsago Russian segments do have their own power and life support as their counterparts on Mir worked well enough. They are probably not designed to handle too much load, not used or even broke down since US segments did most of these jobs for years.

[@joshygoldiem_j2799]

FUN FACT: There is gravity on the ISS. It's true that gravity is weaker because it's farther from the centre of the Earth, but not by much. Earth's gravity is still 90% as effective as it is on the surface. The reason why astronauts float is because they're in free fall. It's a common misconception that the difficult part about space travel is getting into space. But that's actually the easy part. You then need to obtain enough speed to enter orbit, which may require as much as seven times the amount of energy you needed for launch, otherwise you'd fall straight back down. The station is orbiting at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, which allows it to keep falling towards the surface but moving sideways fast enough that it never actually reaches the ground.

Clearly they used a lot of CGI and didn't bother documenting anything.

[@dansv1]

There is hundreds of hours of video of every single piece of the ISS being brought to orbit and assembled to the station.

[@redditsucksyo]

Funny how they didn't show any of that footage in this video don't you think?@@dansv1

[@dansv1]

@@redditsucksyo Not really. Everything Jared Owen does is 3D animation, as he says in the channel description: “I use 3D Animation to show and explain how things work”.

[@redditsucksyo]

He couldn't have used real footage even if he wanted to as there is none. @@dansv1

incredible dense but good explanation, and the animations are unbelievable. Loved the video

Your art of building itself is a great mission in action. You deserve a lot

[@redlightrunner930]

No real footage huh? Imagine Imagine

[@sebastiannolte1201]

Why do you think that there is no real footage? Have you even tried to look for it?

[@redlightrunner930]

@@sebastiannolte1201 yep. Have you?

[@redlightrunner930]

I don't think..I know. If you found some tell me where to look.

[@sebastiannolte1201]

@@redlightrunner930 It is not that hard, especially as this video helps. He lists four of the Space Shuttle missions that assembled the ISS. So let's take the first one , STS-88. So I go to youtube and search for "STS-88". And I got many results. And already the first result has the title "STS-88 First ISS Assembly Mission - Full Mission, HD, Shuttle, Zarya, Space Station," It is more than one hour of pure unedited video footage. And just for one of the about 30 missions, and just the first result of a quick search. And there is of course a Wikipedia article "Assembly of the International Space Station". If you are really interested in how it was built, but haven't read that, I cannot take you seriously. So you find also many pictures and videos in that article, and a list of all missions. And most of the missions again have their own Wikipedia article, with more information, pictures, videos... Or you just search youtube for the name of that mission, like I already did for STS-88. Now I wonder what your answer would be. The smart answer: "OK, thank you probably I haven't look into it enough or searched for the wrong things" The stupid answer: "That is not real footage, it is made in studio and with CGI".

[@SciTrekMan]

@@redlightrunner930 Have you tried a telescope? There’s even a tracker to tell you when and where it will be near you.

[@mysticwolve4018]

if you have "videos" of the iss being put to gather instead of cgi videos i'ed believe it but every video of the iss is made of cgi...

[@sebastiannolte1201]

Why do you claim such bullshit like "Every video is CGI"? I really don't get it, how do you even come to something like that. I mean have you tried to look for it? So here in the video he for examples talks abot STS-88, the first Space Shuttle mission to assemble the ISS. So I type "STS-88" in the youtube search and the first result is a video, that is more than one hour long, pure original footage of that mission. Are you lazy or stupid?

[@wiktorchm]

That is correct, Every video is CGI..@@sebastiannolte1201

Jared, this is a VERY impressive video! Great pacing in your delivery, unambiguous explanations and superb graphics. It is sheer coincidence that one of my students is currently studying the ISS. Your video will prove invaluable. Thank you, good sir!

With CGI 🤣

[@cmdrgraves3308]

Pills. Now.

[@10_e24]

well its much easier to explain the process with CGI rather than low quality video

[@SciTrekMan]

So you expect him to hop on a Space X rocket and go film it in person?

[@turyjordan3827]

The real question is why did they waste so much taxpayer money to build something that has not helped humanity in any shape or form? I know that all of the geek nasa scientists still wet the bed over this

[@mostsharksdontattendchurch3790]

The iss has done tons to help humanity as a whole. Weather pattern tracking climate tracking imaging not to mention the 1000 plus experiments that took place on it. Nasa gets less than 1 percent of the national budget each year so stop complaining. Instead go worry about the hundreds of thousand of illegals that the government take cares of instead of their own citizens. And lot and lots more of waste of money.

[@gabrielleraul488]

Absolutely incredible animations, Jared owen, keep up the fantastic work! 🚀

Go find a non cgi video of them making the LIEss in "space"...oh, right, nevermind

OK, let's see. So in this video here he mentions the first Space Shuttle mission, STS-88. So I type "STS-88" in the youtube search and the first result is a video, that is more than one hour long, pure original footage of that mission. Are you just lazy or really that stupid?

[@Nighthunter226]

I have two things I want to say. 1. I didn't know that there were other countries beside the US, Canada, and Russia that collaborated in these missions. 2. I play SFS, so this really helps a lot to be more realistic of how to build the ISS.
