NASA Docking System (active androgynous variant on top, permanently passive variant on the bottom). [citation needed] Mechanical latches (visible on the guide petals) in the active ring clamp onto the passive section for contact and capture IDAs shown connected to PMA-2 and PMA-3 on the Harmony node.
IDSS Rev D NDS, NASA's implementation of IDSS. The International Docking System Standard (IDSS) is an international standard for spacecraft docking adapters.It was created by the International Space Station Multilateral Coordination Board, on behalf of the International Space Station partner organizations; NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency.
IDA converts APAS-95 to the NASA Docking System (which complies with the International Docking System Standard) and allows the transfer of crew, cargo, power and data. [5] IDA has a mass of 526 kg (1,160 lb), a height of 110 cm (42 in) and a width of 160 cm (63 in).
The uncrewed Boeing Starliner docking with the space station marks the first time both NASA Commercial Crew vehicles are simultaneously in use.
The SCM allows both crewed and uncrewed spacecraft that utilize the NASA Docking System (NDS) to dock with Hubble. For the first fifty years of spaceflight, the main objective of most docking and berthing missions was to transfer crew, construct or resupply a space station, or to test for such a mission (e.g. the docking between Kosmos 186 and ...
Agreement on technical specifications for the docking system cleared the way for NASA to begin discussions with Rockwell about building the docking system. [11] In April 1972, the Soviets informed NASA that they had chosen to use a Soyuz spacecraft in place of a Salyut space station for cost and technical reasons. [4]
In the context of the Environmental Test Requirements (NASA/ISSP, 2003) §10.2: "A component is an assembly of parts that constitute a functional article viewed as an entity for purposes of analysis, manufacturing, maintenance, or record keeping; the smallest entity specified for a distributed system. Examples are hydraulic actuators, valves ...
In addition, the Docking Compartment could transfer fuel from the fuel tanks of a docked Progress resupply vehicle to either the Zvezda Service Module’s Integrated Propulsion System or the Zarya Functional Cargo Block. It could also transfer propellant from Zvezda and Zarya to the
