The two labs will be attached to the Universal Docking Module, a Russian element that provides a five-port node for additional Russian modules and vehicles. It in turn will be attached to the Service Module and perform the same functions as the U.S. nodes. The Universal Docking Module will permit pressurized passage between the three facilities, as well as between Soyuz TM, Progress M1 and other Russian spacecraft. Personnel in the Russian Research Modules also will have direct access to the Docking Compartment through the Universal Docking Module. 3, record 1, English, - universal%20docking%20module

Zvezda est un module de Service, rattaché à ISS [International Space Station]. Il doit donc permettre le maintien de la station en orbite, par des corrections régulières d'altitude, et le contrôle du positionnement. [...] La jonction avec l'ISS [International Space Station] se fait par un module d'amarrage à l'avant sur la pièce de jonction. Cette pièce possède en tout trois modules d'amarrage: un dans l'axe et deux dans une direction perpendiculaire. Ces deux derniers modules serviront plus tard pour l'évolution de la station. Un autre module d'amarrage se trouve à l'arrière. 4, record 1, French, - module%20d%27amarrage%20universel

According to the construction plan of the International Space Station, the Docking Compartment-1 has to be eventually replaced with a much larger Universal Docking Module, UDM. Launched by the Proton rocket, the UDM would provide life-support capabilities for as many as six crewmembers onboard the Russian segment of the ISS. Prior to UDM arrival, the Docking Compartment-1 would be discarded to free the Earth-facing "nadir" port of the Zvezda service module for the UDM. The new Docking Compartment-2, as well as Russia's future science modules, would then be able to dock to multiple ports onboard the UDM. 2, record 2, English, - universal%20docking%20module
