Docking station. In computing, a docking station or port replicator ( hub) or dock provides a simplified way to plug-in a mobile device, such as connect common peripherals to a laptop, or charge a smartphone. Because a wide range of dockable devices—from mobile phones to wireless mouse —have different connectors, power signaling, and uses ...
The International Space Station (ISS) External Active Thermal Control System (EATCS) [ 1] maintains an equilibrium when the ISS environment or heat loads exceed the capabilities of the Passive Thermal Control System (PTCS). Note Elements of the PTCS are external surface materials, insulation such as Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI), or Heat Pipes.
It was used for the first docking to a space station in the history of space flight, with the Soyuz 10 and Soyuz 11 missions that docked to the Soviet space station Salyut 1 in 1971. [ 1 ] [ 15 ] The docking system was upgraded in the mid-1980s to allow the docking of 20 ton modules to the Mir space station. [ 16 ]
