Docking and Stowage Module

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Docking and Stowage Module (DSM) was a planned Russian element of the International Space Station that provided facilities for stowage and additional docking ports. The Docking and Stowage Module would have been used for additional stowage and to support Soyuz docking, and would have been launched to the International Space Station on a Proton launch vehicle.

The DSM would have been mounted to the Zarya module's nadir docking port. It is similar in size and shape to the Zarya module.

This ISS module has been cancelled and will be replaced by the Multipurpose Laboratory Module.
