An airlock room is needed to decompress astronauts after they suit up in specialized space suits in preparation for extravehicular activity, and then to recompress them upon return. [5] Airlocks such as the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock also allow payloads to be released into space with minimal air loss. Skylab orbital workshop trash disposal airlock
The Airlock Module, Hab-2 and RMF will then follow in that order. [3] As Axiom Station is a modular space station , the modules may be moved to different ports as needed. Axiom is, under agreements between the US and India, looking into diversifying its launch providers and possibly using Indian or European launch systems.
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. Prior to berthing the MLM to the ISS, the airlock was stowed as part of MRM1. [14]
