docking

Japanese: ドッキング
docking
The meeting of two or more artificial satellites or spacecraft in space and the joining of their bodies. This is an essential technology for assembling a space station, transferring to a space station, and rescuing manned spacecraft. This follows a rendezvous flight, and it is necessary to reduce the shock of docking and to extend the time the two are in rendezvous. Gemini 10 was the first manned spacecraft to successfully dock in 1966, and in 1975 the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft and the US Apollo spacecraft were docked.

二つ以上の人工衛星や宇宙船が宇宙空間で会合し,その機体を結合すること。宇宙ステーションの組立て,宇宙ステーションへの移乗,有人宇宙船の救助等に不可欠の技術。ランデブー飛行に引き続いて行われるもので,ドッキング時の衝撃を小さくし,両者がランデブーしている時間を長くする必要がある。1966年にジェミニ10号が最初に有人ドッキングに成功,1975年にはソ連のソユーズ宇宙船と米国のアポロ宇宙船とのドッキングが実施された。
