I've removed my topology maps from NASAspaceflight, most likely I'll add them to Wikipedia.Let's explain why in this post (that most probably will be removed). In my opinion NASAspaceflight has not been a pleasant forum to participate; for two reasons.1) I've experienced many times that posts were removed, without getting a reason from the moderator. 2) Many users of the forum have negative sentiment towards non-reusable rockets, or everything other than SpaceX.Last Friday I wrote a long informative post in the Ariane 6 discussion topic. Saturday that post was gone. Most likely the reason it was removed was roughly the following remark: (String appears to be a hobby of the French).Someone replied to it that he didn't like that remark, and probably reported it later. The moderator could have removed the comment, because it was a side comment in my long informative post. But instead the whole post was removed. Along with the post with the complaint. Without explanation PM so I couldn't learn from my mistake, to prevent it happening again.I've reported to the moderating team that I didn't like that they removed the post. Without explaining why. But I didn't get a reply from them. Saturday I've witten a reply in the Ariane 6 discussion topic again, that was on topic. Already for years I don't share information on NSF because you'll get a lot of negative replies. And you have the chance that you're post is removed. Thus possibly updates about Ariane6 qualification aren't shared.I was upset so wrote it more negative than here. So I reported it myself to the moderating team.It didn't surprise me that that post was removed. That made me decide to remove a lot of my posts from NSF.Sorry, I don't see the point any longer writing a post on NSF, because it's very likely to be removed. I'll search for another forum or media to share the info I find and discuss space related stuff. I'm very sure the practice of very easily removing a post has scared more users away. I'm another that can be added to that list.
I tought too have read someting about two ZSR being brought up by STS-131. Can any one confirm this?
Yes, two ZSRs were brought up on STS-131 - one went to JLP1A1 and the other went to LAB1P4.As I understand it, ZSRs are mounted over the top of other racks using standard ISS seat track (but I'm not 100% sure). So you might need to show 2 racks in 1 bay on your plan.

They are launched folded up and placed in front of another rack in the MPLM but in that configuration they can't support any storage and they are folded into the onn-orbit configuration once installed in ISS. There was a operations check-list for this in one of the flight data files for STS-131.
Is there any similar layout document for Zvesda/Zaryz/Pirs/PoisK? I know it doesn't have racks like the US side, but maybe something showing where experiments are currently?
I've been away for a while, and they starting to move some racks again.So I thought that it would be nice when I added a new configuration.The changes in the last couple of months are: - Swap ARS system racks form Node 3 to US LAB and back again. - Confugure MAR-ES - Move CQ-3 (Crue Quater-3) from JPM D3 (Kibo deck 3) to Node 2 D5The CHeCS RSR rack is going to be moved fron LAB O5 to Lab D4For the new drawing, see the PDF-files at the first post.
For the nodes that include two rings of racks, was there a reason the rings needed to be side by side? Could the CBMs have been centered between the two rack rings? (See attached.)

MSG will be moved from COL1F2 to LAB1S2 on 21/10.In preparation for this, MELFI-2 was moved from LAB1S2 to LAB1S1 today.

It doesn't make sence to me, because MSG is located in COL1F2 in all the Topologies i've seen. As in this Nasa document http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/296699main_R.%20Jones.pdfBut in this topology TESS (temp. sleep station) is stil present.Nasa has posted the expedition 25/26 press documentseveral days ago (finaly). Lots of interesting information in there, assecionaly about HTV-2. There only isn't a rack topology in there .Here I will summerise the things that will change during expeditions 25 and 26.STS-133: Express-4 (outside ORU/ experiment platform)- addition PMM module on Node 1 Deck,- add R2(Robonat) (From what I heared) in front of Lab Starbord 5 (will be placed there later)- And I think also Expr-8 will be brought up to be placed at JPM A(ft)5.Inside Expr-8 will be BXF (Boiling Experiment Facility)Can somebody verify this? It isn't mentioned in the press document.STS-134 only outside elements and ORU's for the rack's will be delivered.Express-3 and AMS HTV-2: Will bring up two US outside experiments for JPM-EFand for the inside: - Kabiro with GHF (Gardient Heating Furnace) JPM F(orwerd) 3 - MPSR (Multi-Purpose Small payload Rack) JPM A(ft) 4.I will add the new topology's in a few day's
