Russia launches Zvezda module to speed up space station
Russia launched the Zvezda module from Baikonur to accelerate the international space station program. The in orbit piece provides living quarters and flight controls allowing crews to live and work aboard the station for extended periods. Docking with Zarya and Unity is planned, with crew arrivals and solar panel expansion slated for late 2000 into 2001.
