International Space Station 2020 configuration (Vanilla)

Faithfully recreated module by module from schematics and models available physically and digitally, this is a true 1:1 scale replica of the station in low earth orbit in its current configuration of modules as of April 2020. Shuttle not included but most up-to-date version can be found in the shuttle complete collection item on the 1:1 collection page.

-Primarily meant to look nice, but for the fun of it it is airtight if you put in a door in Quest Joint Airlock (currently open)
-Every module I could find that has been launched and installed on it, in their correct locations. Additionally I matched each ELC and ESP to what imagery I could find.
-Full interior where most notable features and characteristics of each module should be present.
-Every module is tagged in game making learning the layout and structure of the station easy :)

The space station is constructed of modules arranged into segments. Notable segments are the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) to the aft of the station. Modules in this are Zarya, Zvezda, Rassvet Pirs and Poisk. This is where the crew docks and receives supplies from Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Additionally ATV commonly dock to the aft of Zvezda.

Separated by a pressurized mating adapter, to the front is the US Orbital Segment (USOS). While the name implies it is US built, variety of modules are products of international cooperation. The largest single module in the station is Japanese Experiment Module and its associated components. ESA's major contributions to the segment are the Columbus lab and Leonardo PMM. Historically the space shuttle used to dock to Node 2 at the very front of the station.
On the portside is Node 3 and everybody's favorite module, the cupola from which earth can be observed. It also acts as a point of control for the Canadarm2 among Destiny lab.

To the zenith (up) is one of the most noticeable features, the kevlar clad Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) comprising of several components. These modules are named in their order and assembly location, P standing for Port, S for Starboard and Z for zenith. The ITS houses ExPRESS Logistics Carriers and Stowage Platforms on which experiments can be stored and performed. ITS also has a rail system running from side to side allowing the Mobile Base Servicing System to move Canadarm 2 around wherever it may be needed. Large thermal radiators attach to S1 and P1 truss segments to climate control the pressurized sections and the iconic solar arrays further down the truss with their own accumulators and thermal controls. It also has the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer which is used for measuring things like antimatter in cosmic rays!

An amazing video explaining the construction order and process can be found here!

Slight note is that originally PMM was installed on Nadir of Unity node, and not straight away to Fore of Tranquility as the video suggests.
Another fantastic video is the tour of the interior (note date and location of PMM!)

Some limitations are in place. While the panels and truss segments have no obstruction blocking the movement and thus should be easily motorized, clang does not enjoy such subgrids found in this. This is why it is mostly a static model.
It's a tight place to move in some areas, may take some getting used to. Head first gets you through hatches.
See something missing? An error somewhere? Let me know! :)

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Update 0.1:
Revisions to Z1 truss. I'm still not able to get the CMG covers to look right so for now they're bare. Cleaned up S0 truss rear to be more in line with reality. Changed EIBA orientation to match a photo and added a reactor to Zvezda to supply power to the station as solar panels are custom in this build.
