  • $\begingroup$Is IDS derived from the androgynus docking system already thought up during the apollo days?$\endgroup$CommentedSep 9, 2024 at 4:30

    $\begingroup$@TrySCE2AUX I think you can trace the lineage back into APAS but that might just be carcinization. Maybe everything evolves to a three-petal androgynous docking interface eventually?$\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$@ErinAnne :D.. like everything evolves into a crab eventually? But I think you're on to something. At least if you want a (more or less) symmetric system where you can dock sinilar systems in any combination.$\endgroup$CommentedSep 9, 2024 at 4:51

    $\begingroup$@TrySCE2AUX I think that the power and data stuff in IDSS might make it all non-androgynous anyway but I'm not 100% sure on that. I think there are some open questions still on how HLS is going to be handled because suddenly there's a vehicle that's target sometimes (for Orion rendezvous iirc) and chaser sometimes (for rendezvous with Gateway) which makes me laugh when I hear about it because it's like... this was foreseeable$\endgroup$
