ISS assembly wallpaper pack
«

I've put together a set of 1920x1200 wallpapers showing the progressive assembly of the ISS from late 1998 through the summer of 2009.
They're available on DeviantArt at
http://celestiaguru.deviantart.com/art/ISS-Wallpaper-pack-1920x1200-183550381
The images were rendered by
Celestia
.
The ISS models are by Linuxm@n, derived from NASA models.

Very cool, it's nice to be able to see it grow from a constant viewpoint! Will the package be updated with the additions that have occurred after 7-15-2009 (Poisk, Tranquility/Cupola, Rassvet, ect) and future additions (PMM, AMS, MLM)?

Sadly, the person responsible for the model hasn't posted anything since February and hasn't responded to email. Since he was in the middle of a discussion about modeling the cupola at the time, further updates by him seem unlikely. My own modeling skills are inadequate in comparison.

Nice sequence !
With regard to the 8th picture (the addition of the Canadarm on STS-100), it seems that the Quest airlock has already been attached, which happened later in the year on STS-104 (picture 9). Is this a small error?

Lewis,
I'll have to investigate the timing specified in the ISS's SSC catalog for the Quest airlock and Canadarm models and the dates that I used to generate the images. In principle I should be able to fix that, I think, although it'll take a while.
Thanks for noticing the problem!

Fixed.
I'd made a typo in the date when generating image #08. I've updated the zip file as well as providing the corrected image on DeviantArt at

but it might be easier to just download it from here
