The Joint Airlock has two main components: a crew airlock from which astronauts and cosmonauts exit the ISS [International Space Station] and an equipment airlock designed for storing EVA [Extravehicular Activity] gear and for so-called overnight "campouts" wherein nitrogen is purged from astronaut's bodies overnight as pressure is dropped in preparation for spacewalks the following day. This alleviates the bends as the astronauts are repressurized after their EVA. 3, record 1, English, - crew%20airlock
