The STS-88 Space Shuttle mission followed two weeks after Zarya was launched, bringing Unity, the first of three node modules, and connecting it to Zarya. This bare 2-module core of the ISS remained uncrewed for the next one and a half years, until in July 2000 the Russian module Zvezda was launched by a Proton rocket, allowing a maximum crew ...

STS-6 and STS-7 used SRBs 2,300 kg (5,000 lb) lighter due to walls that were 0.10 mm (.004 in) thinner, but were determined to be too thin to fly safely. Subsequent flights until STS-26 used cases that were 0.076 mm (.003 in) thinner than the standard-weight cases, which reduced 1,800 kg (4,000 lb).

The birectified 4 21 is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the 4 21. The trirectified 4 21 is constructed by points at the tetrahedral centers of the 4 21 . These polytopes are part of a family of 255 = 2 8 − 1 convex uniform 8-polytopes , made of uniform 7-polytope facets and vertex figures , defined by all permutations of ...
