Each of the two berthing ports on Destiny contains a hatch. The aft hatch(hatch to Unity) will be opened and will remain open(unless a situation arises requiring a module to be isolated). The forward hatch will be used as the main access to the Orbiter on future missions until Node 2 arrives. Each hatch has a window. The hatches can be opened or closed from either side. [They] have a pressure interlock feature, which prevents the hatch from being opened if there is a negative pressure across the hatch(higher pressure on the outside of the hatch). 2, record 2, English, - hatch

[Aux extrémités du] module américain Destiny se trouvent les écoutilles métalliques. En temps normal, l'écoutille entre le module Unity et Destiny reste ouverte. Elle n'est fermée qu'en cas de nécessité, si on veut isoler Destiny du reste de la Station. L'autre écoutille donne sur le PMA2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 - port d'arrimage pressurisé). Elle constituera le sas principal pour les prochaines visites de navettes spatiales, jusqu'à l'arrivée du Node-2, module de jonction du même type que le module Unity. Chaque écoutille a un hublot, et peut être fermée ou ouverte des deux côtés. [Pour éviter les risques de dépressurisation accidentelle], un dispositif de sécurité en bloque l'ouverture [lorsqu'il y a] une différence de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9coutille
