Was used to dock to the Docking Module adapter (passive) during the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), which enabled the crew to dock with a Soviet Soyuz 7K-TM spacecraft. It had a circular pass through diameter of 810 mm (32 in). [12] [13] Non-Androgynous Original Russian probe and drogue docking system Docking No
In 1999, Astro Studios received two Design of the Decade Awards by BusinessWeek [1] / Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), one for the Kensington Computer Products Group Smart Sockets and the other for Nike Inc's first electronic products, and the original Triax SportsWatch series. [2] Other designs include the Boxee Box, [3] Zune HD ...
Most rendezvous are for docking, as in this photo of the crews and spaceship models of the historic first time Soviet and US spacecraft Apollo-Soyuz docking in 1975 of the concluding Space Race Damaged solar arrays on Mir's Spektr module following a collision with an uncrewed Progress spacecraft in September 1997 as part of Shuttle-Mir.

The docking mechanism of the Apollo was a "probe and drogue" system designed to allow the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) to dock with the Apollo Lunar Module.The same system was later used for the Skylab 2, Skylab 3 and Skylab 4 CSMs to dock with the Skylab space station, and the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project CSM to dock with a Docking Module adapter which allowed docking with the Soyuz 19 ...
The Beriev A-50 (NATO reporting name: Mainstay) is a Soviet-origin airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft that is based on the Ilyushin Il-76 transport plane. . Developed to replace the Tupolev Tu-126 "Moss", the A-50 first flew in 1
a. ^ Although STS-96 was the first Space Shuttle mission to perform a docking maneuver with the ISS, it was not the first to visit the station. During the previous mission, STS-88 , the Space Shuttle Endeavour used the Canadarm to first attach the newly delivered Unity module to its airlock, then grasp the Zarya module to join it with Unity.
The spacecraft's nose cone protects the docking port and four forward-facing thrusters during ascent and reentry. This component pivots open for in-space operations. [ 25 ] [ 32 ] Dragon 2's propellant and helium pressurant for emergency abort and orbital maneuvers are stored in composite-carbon-overwrap titanium spherical tanks at the capsule ...
The docking module was designed as both an airlock — as the Apollo was pressurized at about 5 psi (34 kPa) using pure oxygen, while the Soyuz used a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere at sea level pressure (about 15 psi (100 kPa)) — and an adapter, since the surplus Apollo hardware used for the ASTP mission was not equipped with the APAS docking ...
