Poisk ((ロシア語:По́иск); lit. ''Search''), also known as the Mini-Research Module 2 (MRM 2), , or ''МИМ 2'', is a docking module of the International Space Station. Its original name was Docking Module 2 ( (SO-2)), as it is almost identical to the Pirs Docking Compartment. Added in 2009, ''Poisk'' was the first major Russian addition to the International Space Station since 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Docking Compartment-1 and 2 )〕 ==Details== ''Poisk'' docked to the zenith port of the ''Zvezda'' module on November 12, 2009, and will serve as a docking port for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft and as an airlock for spacewalks. ''Poisk'' will also provide extra space for scientific experiments, and provide power-supply outlets and data-transmission interfaces for two external scientific payloads to be developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences. Two spacewalks conducted from the ISS in June 2009, successfully completed activities anticipating ''Poisk'' module's future berthing. On 5 June 2009, during Russian Orlan EVA-22 spacewalk Expedition 19/20 Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Michael Barratt installed two Kurs docking antennas, a docking target and electrical connectors on the exterior of Zvezda's Service Module. On June 10, 2009, during Russian Orlan EVA-23 spacewalk Padalka and Barratt replaced a flat hatch cover in the forward section of ''Zvezda'' with a standard conical docking cone cover to allow for Poisk's docking. On January 14, 2010, cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Maksim Suraev conducted a spacewalk to outfit the ''Poisk'' module to prepare for receiving Soyuz and Progress ships in the future. They deployed antennas and a docking target, installed two handrails and plugged the new module's Kurs antennas into the Kurs docking system circuitry. The spacewalk lasted five hours and 44 minutes. On January 21, 2010, the module was first used when cosmonaut Suraev and Expedition 22 Commander Jeffrey Williams relocated their Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft from the aft port of the ''Zvezda'' module to the zenith-facing port of the ''Poisk'' module. The Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft undocked from the aft end of the ''Zvezda'' service module at 10:03 UTC and backed away to a distance of about 30m (100 feet) from the space station. Undocking occurred as the station flew about 343 km (213 miles) high off the southwest coast of Africa. Re-docking occurred at 10:24 UTC after Suraev fired the ''Soyuz'' maneuvering thrusters to fly halfway around the orbiting space station and line up with the ''Poisk'' module. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poisk (ISS module)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
