It was the third module launched to the station, and provided all of the station's life support systems , some of which are supplemented in the US Orbital Segment (USOS), as well as living quarters for two crew members.
Proposals to copy the Katyusha for German use were soon made but there wasn't much spare industrial capacity available for new projects.
