	Docking Compartment of the Russian segment of the ISS
		Docking Compartment of the Russian segment of the ISS
		After the Docking Compartment docks to the ISS, the PAO section of the module jettisons to expose the standard docking port on the spacecraft, intended for the Soyuz docking.
		To play new role, the Docking Compartment would be equipped with the grappling device for the station's robot arm, which would be used to place the module to its new location prior to the arrival of the FGB-2 to the station.
