Figure 3-65: Russian Docking System & International Berthing & Docking Mechanism<br />

HMM<br />

Assessment Study<br />

Report: CDF-20(A)<br />

February 2004<br />

page 220 of 422<br />

Russian Docking System has the following features:<br />

• Both half of the system are integrated in to the hatch doors<br />

• ‘Male’ half situated on approaching vehicle (MAV)<br />

• Receptacle situated on the TV<br />

• Internal Redundancy of systems<br />

• System level redundancy not complete-redundant receptacle can be provided, but no<br />

redundant probe can be mounted on MAV.<br />

International Berthing & Docking Mechanism (IBDM) has the following features:<br />

• Androgynous system- identical mechanism mounted to both vehicles<br />

• Full redundancy of system provided<br />

• Full Internal Mechanism redundancy<br />

• Treble redundancy for release/emergency release<br />

• Mechanism independent of hatch door<br />

• Hatch door diameter limited to ingress/egress suitability (diameter 813 mm)<br />

3.3.8.2.4 Crew conditioning and exercise facilities<br />

The following assumptions have been applied:<br />

• A redundant crew exercise facility shall be provided including medical (cardio-vascular)<br />

monitoring<br />

• A Short Arm Centrifuge (SRC) shall be provided:<br />

• Due to the large rotational momentum, a counter rotation device shall be<br />

implemented.<br />

• The SRC shall have two astronaut positions<br />

• Urgent/Emergency stop
