The Space Shuttle stops within 50 meters of Mir, which is approximately one-half the length of a football field. From that position the Space Shuttle waits for clearance from Mission Control to continue. When the command is given to continue, the Reaction Control System is activated again and the Space Shuttle closes in on Mir at a speed of about 0.05 meters per second until it reaches a distance of about 9 meters. There, the Space Shuttle stops again and waits for approximately 5 minutes. The Commander and Pilot make sure they can see the docking target clearly and fine-tune the alignment of the Space Shuttle with the docking target. A large black cross called the Stand-off Cross is mounted 30 centimeters (cm) above the back plate in the center of the target. When the Commander has the Stand-off Cross squarely in line with the docking target, he or she maneuvers the Space Shuttle and makes contact with the docking ring. Once a series of hooks is engaged, the Space Shuttle is then successfully docked with Mir.  2, record 2, English, - docking%20target

The Docking Compartment, also known as Pirs ("Pier") or Docking Module, provides the airlock for the spacewalks from the Russian segment of the International Space Station, ISS. The module features a large hatch, 1 meter in diameter, allowing spacesuited cosmonauts to exit and return to the station. (NASA developed its own, larger airlock for the US segment of the outpost.)  5, record 3, English, - Pirs%20docking%20compartment

The Russian Docking Compartment also provides a third docking port for the arriving Russian spacecraft. Without Docking Compartment, the Russian manned Soyuz and Progress cargo ships can dock either to the aft port of the Zvezda service module, or to the Earth-facing (nadir) port of the Zarya control module.  5, record 3, English, - Pirs%20docking%20compartment

Le pilote Vladimir Dejourov et l'ingénieur de vol Mikhaïl Tiourine ont ouvert pour la première fois l'écoutille du compartiment d’amarrage Pirs à 9 h 23, heure du Centre(1423 TU), afin de raccorder des câbles de transmission télémétrique et de données entre le compartiment Pirs et le module de service Zvezda auquel il s’est amarré il y a trois semaines. Les deux cosmonautes ont également installé des rampes, une échelle d’accès, un mât de charge, une cible d’amarrage et une antenne de navigation automatisée.  5, record 3, French, - compartiment%20Pirs
