#Tiangong is fitted with the #Chinese 🇨🇳 #docking mechanism based on the #Russian 🇷🇺 APAS-89/APAS-95 system. #NASA is describing it as a "clone" to #APAS on the #ISS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangong_space_station#Docking
Would be an #alternative to a #risky landing with a partly operational #Soyuz in case of an #emergency (#depressurization / #ammonia #contamination or similar) ?
Wonder whether #GatewaySpaceport's #Hatship #pod got a docking mechanism which fits (both) ? https://gatewayspaceport.com/pod-2
