This article is a list of accidents and incidents related to the International Space Station (ISS). It includes mishaps occurring on board the ISS, flights to and from the space station, as well as other program related incidents. Excluded from the list are routine actions such as repairs of minor malfunctions or debris avoidance maneuvers.
The terms Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (APAS), Androgynous Peripheral Assembly System (APAS) and Androgynous Peripheral Docking System (APDS) [1] [2] are used interchangeably to describe a Russian family of spacecraft docking mechanisms, and are also sometimes used as generic names for any docking system in that family.

It was used for the first docking to a space station in the history of space flight, with the Soyuz 10 and Soyuz 11 missions that docked to the Soviet space station Salyut 1 in 1971. [ 1 ] [ 15 ] The docking system was upgraded in the mid-1980s to allow the docking of 20 ton modules to the Mir space station. [ 16 ]
The international Low Impact Docking System (iLIDS) [1] was the precursor to the NDS. NDS Block 1 was designed, built, and tested by The Boeing Company in Huntsville Alabama. Design qualification testing took place through January 2017. Using NDS, NASA developed the International Docking Adapter (IDA) to provide two IDSS-compliant docking ports ...
In computing, a docking station, port replicator (hub), or dock provides a simplified way to plug-in a mobile device, such as connect common peripherals to a laptop, or charge a smartphone. Because a wide range of dockable devices—from mobile phones to wireless mouse —have different connectors, power signaling, and uses, docks are ...
This is a list of spacecraft deployed from the International Space Station.The International Space Station deploys spacecraft using the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD), the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD), Space Station Integrated Kinetic Launcher for Orbital Payload Systems (SSIKLOPS), or the Nauka MLM experiments airlock module.
"The docking system, developed by Chinese, is compatible with the docking mechanism and structure used on the International Space Station, the Soyuz spaceship and space shuttles, Tao noted, adding that future international cooperations in space project would be convenient in light of that."
