A space dock is a hypothesised type of space station that is able to repair or build spacecraft similar to maritime shipyards on Earth. They remove the need for new spacecraft to perform a space launch to reach space and existing spacecraft to make an atmospheric entry and landing for repair work. They currently only exist in fiction, however ...
Allowed the Command/Service Module (active) to dock to the Apollo Lunar Module [11] (passive) and the Skylab space station (passive). 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 ...
SpaDeX or Space Docking Experiment is a twin satellite mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to mature and demonstrate technologies related to orbital rendezvous, docking, formation flying, which will have future applications in areas such as human spaceflight, in-space satellite servicing and other proximity operations.
In 1996, Johnson Space Center (JSC) began development of the Advanced Docking Berthing System, [3] which would later be called the X-38 Low-Impact Docking System. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] After the X-38 was canceled in 2002, development of the mating system continued, but its future was unknown. [ 3 ]

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.
Starlab is the name given to the planned LEO space station designed by Nanoracks for commercial space activities uses. The station is expected to be launched in 2028. The company released preliminary plans in October 2021, where the main structure of Starlab consisted of a large inflatable habitat to be built by Lockheed Martin and a metallic docking node.
The name of the system is Russian in origin, and is an acronym, АПАС, in the Cyrillic alphabet, from the Russian Андрогинно-периферийный агрегат стыковки (Androginno-periferiynyy agregat stykovki). The English acronym was designed to be just the same letters but in the Latin alphabet, for which the first ...
