	Zarya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zarya is a descendant of the TKS spacecraft designed for the Russian Salyut program.
		Zarya has 16 external fuel tanks that can hold over 6 metric tons of propellant, with 24 large steering jets, 12 small steering jets, and two large engines for reboost and major orbital changes.
		The name "Zarya", meaning "Sunrise" in Russian, was given to the FGB because it signified the dawn of a new era of international cooperation in space.

	International Space Station - Zarya
		Zarya (ZAR-yah) is a 21-ton power, communication and spacecraft control element that on Nov. 20, 1998, was rocketed into history as the first International Space Station component to be sent into orbit.
		Zarya (in English: "Sunrise," to symbolize the dawn of a new era in space) automatically powered-up its systems and spread its wing-like solar arrays shortly after it achieved initial orbit, an elliptical path that varied in altitude from 137 to 211 miles.
		Zarya initially was confronted with a days-long battery of tests.

		The shuttle crew is to capture Zarya using the Endeavour's robot arm and then attach the two modules in three space walks.
		Zarya's launch was held back for a year because the cash-strapped Russian space agency had failed to meet its obligation on building a crucial follow-up component that would house the crew.
		The 41.2-foot Zarya, built for NASA by the Russian Khrunichev company, is designed to serve as a space tugboat in the early stages of the project, providing propulsion, power and communications.

	Astronauts capture first station part
		Before beginning their final approach to Zarya – Russian for Sunrise – the astronauts had to steer clear of a chunk of a rocket launched last month from California.
		Minutes after Zarya's capture, Cabana called down that two antennas on the module were still undeployed as Russian flight controllers had feared.
		In case Zarya and Unity could not be connected with the robot arm, two spacewalking astronauts would have to manually fit them together.

	General Accounting Office Report
		Zarya was funded by NASA and is therefore considered a U.S. element of the space station.
		The two other problems did not result from failure to meet contractual requirements: the specifications for Zarya exempted the module from fully meeting space station requirements to operate after loss of pressure, and NASA determined that air quality inside Zarya was not the cause of health symptoms reported by the crew.
		Zarya and the Service Module Will Not Operate After Losing Cabin Pressure The space station program requires that equipment located in pressurized modules be capable of functioning if cabin pressure is lost.

		It is believed that stiff cabling or interference from thermal blankets on Zarya may be preventing the antennas from fully extending, even though pyrotechnic pins have fired to enable the antennas to roll free from their spools.

		Zarya's motion control system will be reactivated about once a week over the next few months to insure it is working properly and its guidance system will be updated with the latest orbital parameters.

		Zarya's waiting for us up on orbit and we can't wait to go meet with it and get it mated with Unity and get this whole program started off on a great note." This status report will be update after a 9 a.m.
		After making sure Zarya was lined up side to side within four inches of perfect and tilted less than four degrees to local vertical, Currie relaxed the arm and shuttle commander Robert Cabana fired small steering jets to drive Unity into Zarya with enough force to engage powerful docking latches.
		Zarya is equipped with two such antennas, which are part of a backup manual docking system.

		After Zarya had been grappled, Cabana confirmed suspicions that two antennas on the module had failed to deploy, part of a manual backup system for rendezvous operations.
		Once Zarya was within about 70 feet of Endeavour, the Unity module rose three stories out of the orbiter cargo bay, blocking the crew's direct view of the Russian module, except for its solar power wings.
		Once Zarya was precisely positioned, Currie put the arm in "limp mode" while Cabana fired jets on the shuttle, driving Unity and Zarya together.

		The astronauts should be able to hear any alarms that go off in Zarya even if their ears are plugged.
		The astronauts who connected the first two pieces of the space station in December told their colleagues it was difficult for anyone in Zarya to hear someone speaking from the Unity module just next door.
		The potentially dangerous din existed long before Zarya, the first station component, was launched by the Russians last November.

	Zarya ready and waiting for company
		Flight controllers in Korolev are expecting Zarya to gradually drop in altitude ever so slightly by the time Endeavour meets up with it in a couple of weeks.
		In the meantime, whenever Zarya is not actively performing systems checks or other operations, it will be put into a slow spin to conserve fuel and maintain moderate temperatures.
		But while Zarya has grabbed most of the attention so far for the I.S.S., the next exciting step will be when the station truly becomes more than just a singular module.

		Zarya, which translates into "sunrise" or "rising sun" in English, was launched from pad 333 at its precisely scheduled time despite Russian requests to have the launch delayed.
		Moreover, this signal is increasing in both strength and frequency, perhaps implying that we are near the brink of an event of major significance ("Bring in NASA with December Seven." anyone?).
		It may be merely the joining of Zarya and and Unity to form IS(I)S, but we suspect there is something more significant on the horizon.

	FGB-2 module of the ISS
		Although the contract with Boeing on the construction of the Zarya control module financed only a single spacecraft, Khrunichev used spare parts and its own funds to build a backup module, in case the original Zarya, also known by its Russian abbreviation as FGB, fails in the launch mishap or upon reaching the orbit.
		At the same time, the FGB-2 module built by Khrunichev as a backup for the Zarya control module was around 65 percent ready by the time Zarya was launched in 1998.
		In accordance with the latest plan, the FGB-2 module would dock to the Earth-facing (nadir) port on the Zvezda module, the same port where the UDM module was expected to dock.
