 ISS Zvezda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zvezda service module with a Progress docked on the right and the Zarya FGB on the left.
The module, similar in layout to the core module of the Mir space station, was manufactured by Korolev and launched by a Proton rocket on July 12, 2000.
Zvezda has been criticized for being excessively noisy and, in fact, the crew have been observed wearing earplugs inside of it.

 Zvezda service module (SM)
Officially, the Russian decision to move the Zvezda's launch date to June was dictated by unfavorable lighting conditions in July and August for the docking operations between the service module and the rest of the ISS.
Kiselev said that beside the rocket for the Zvezda launch, the rest of the Proton fleet is on track to return to flight on Feb. 12 with the launch of the Garuda communications satellite.
According to Yuri Grigoriev, Deputy Designer General at RKK Energia, the Zvezda launch date is dictated by the latest predictions of the lighting conditions during the docking of Zvezda module with already flying elements of the ISS.
