module
In construction, a standard or unit that governs the form of the rest. For example, Japanese room sizes are traditionally governed by multiples of standard tatami floor mats; today prefabricated buildings are mass-produced in a similar way. Spacecraft components, designed in coordination, are also modules. For the Apollo Moon landings, the craft comprised a command module, a service module, and a lunar module.
