International Berthing and Docking Mechanism : ウィキペディア英語版 | International Berthing and Docking Mechanism
The International Berthing and Docking Mechanism (IBDM) is the European androgynous low impact docking mechanism that is capable of docking and berthing large and small spacecraft. The development of the IBDM is under ESA contract with QinetiQ Space〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.qinetiq.com/services-products/space )〕 as prime contractor. == History == The IBDM development was initiated as a joint development programme with NASA JSC. The first application of the IBDM was intended to be the ISS Crew Return Vehicle (CRV). In the original Agency to Agency agreement, it was decided to develop an Engineering Development Unit (EDU) to demonstrate the feasibility of the system and the associated technologies. NASA JSC were responsible for the system and avionics designs and ESA for the mechanical design. However since the cancellation of the CRV program, the two Agencies have independently progressed with the docking system development. The IBDM is now designed to be compatible with the International Docking System Standard (IDSS) and is hence compatible with the future ISS International Docking Adapters (IDA) on the US side of the ISS. The European Space Agency has now started a cooperation with SNC to provide the IBDM for attaching this new vehicle to the ISS in the future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://spaceref.biz/company/qinetiq-space-wins-esa-contract-for-international-berthing-docking-mechanism.html )〕 NASA expects to select commercial contractors to resupply the International Space Station in September 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/04/22/decision-on-new-space-station-cargo-contracts-deferred/ )〕
