Polyus

The ill-fated Soviet laser battle station. Launched 1987 never reached the orbit. It consisted of the laser (1 megawatt carbon dioxide laser) housing hull and a FGB (TKS derived) module to host the crew and provide RCS. Much like the later Mir and ISS modules

This is my own model intended for double build - orbit and launch configuration.

Printouts and instructions.

Attachment 299237
Halfway.

Attachment 299238
Orbital configuration. The solar panels are detachable to enable putting on the fairing.

The fairing itself however turned out to be to tight, so I'll have to redesign it and print again. Will try the launch configuration tomorrow.
