Crew and Science Airlock 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 Crew and Science Airlock Module will be used for performing extravehicular activities outside the mini-space station and would have the docking port for the proposed Deep space transporter. It will be built by the UAE's Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), and is slated for launch around 2030. [86]
Quest airlock at the Marshall Space Flight Center. This module was manufactured by Boeing, under contract by NASA, at the Marshall Space Flight Center [11] in 2000. It is made from aluminum and steel alloys. [citation needed] The design for the crew airlock segment was derived from that of the Space Shuttle's external airlock. [11]

An airlock on board the Space Shuttle. ... until the Quest Joint Airlock module was installed in July 2001. ... Crew and Science Airlock Module; Notes
That Crew Dragon was launched with two empty seats specifically to carry Williams and Wilmore back to Earth at the end of the Crew 9 mission, originally planned for late February.
The ERM also features batteries and small surface-mounted solar panels to power the module on its way to the Moon. A small science airlock was planned for the module during early designs in order to transfer scientific payloads outside the Gateway, but recent designs lack the airlock.
Experiment Airlock berthed to Nauka, while egressing payloads onto the outside of the station . The airlock, Shk, is designed for a payload with dimensions up to 1,200 mm × 500 mm × 500 mm (47 in × 20 in × 20 in), has a volume of 2.1 m 3, weight of 1050 kg and consumes 1.5 kW of power at the peak.
