Zarya, Rusya Güncel Saati — MSK.

Zarya, also known as the Functional Cargo Block, is the first module of the International Space Station (ISS). Launched on 20 November 1998 atop a Proton-K rocket, the module would serve as the ISS's primary source of power, propulsion, and guidance during its early years. As the ISS expanded, Zarya's role shifted primarily to storage, both internally and in its external fuel tanks. A descendant of the TKS spacecraft used in the Salyut programme, Zarya was built in Russia but financed by the United States. Its name, meaning "sunrise," symbolizes the beginning of a new era of international space cooperation.

Distance-wise, Zarya is closest to London (~2,530 km), Dubai (~3,672 km), Tokyo (~7,451 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 14,466 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
