	Unity Module - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carried to orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, Unity was mated on December 6, 1998, with the already orbiting Zarya, a U.S.-funded and Russian-built component launched earlier aboard a Russian Proton rocket launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
		Unity also is outfitted with an early communications system that allows data, voice and low data rate video with Mission Control, Houston, to supplement Russian communications systems during the early station assembly activities.
		The two remaining station connecting modules, or nodes, are being built by the European Space Agency (ESA) for NASA in Italy by Alenia Aerospazio.

		With the Unity module now mounted vertically in the shuttle's cargo bay, the stage is set for a rendezvous and docking with a Russian station module later today.
		With the 25,600-pound Unity mounted atop the shuttle's airlock near the front of Endeavour's cargo bay, the crew's line of sight was blocked, forcing Currie to rely on television views, data from a Canadian computer TV system and digital readouts showing the exact positions of each joint in the robot arm.
