A close-up of a government-reference airlock module for the Gateway Space Station. Mission planning calls for an airlock to be delivered and integrated to Gateway by the crewed Orion spacecraft on the Artemis VI mission after launching on an Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1B rocket.
The Quest Joint Airlock is the primary airlock for the International Space Station. Quest was designed to host spacewalks with both Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuits and Orlan space suits. The airlock was launched on STS-104 on July 14, 2001. It was attached to the starboard CBM of the Unity during STS-104. The four external HP ...
The Quest Airlock is a pressurized space station module consisting of two compartments attached end-to-end by a connecting bulkhead and hatch. The two compartments consist of: the Equipment Lock, which provides the systems and volume for suit maintenance and refurbishment, and the Crew Lock, which provides the actual exit for performing EVAs.

An airlock on board the Space Shuttle. An airlock [a] is a room or compartment which permits passage between environments of differing atmospheric pressure or composition, while minimizing the changing of pressure or composition between the differing environments.
It is much larger than ESP-1 with eight FRAM sites creating room for up to eight spare parts (ORUs). Like ESP-1, it is powered by the Unity Module. However, unlike ESP-1, ESP-2 is attached to the Quest Joint Airlock using a specialized ESP Attachment Device (ESPAD). ESP-2 and ESP-3 are deployable versions of the integrated cargo carrier and ...
A parachute airlock, often abbreviated to airlock, is a safety mechanism built into some parachute models which helps them resist losing their shape while open. It uses a ram air structure to stiffen each section of the outer edge.
