in '75 the last mission with apollo hardware pioneered the docking of US & Soviet hardware:
see that black thing in the middle? it was a one-off built and used 1 time, and it was called the APAS which stands for the....
and the surl will love this which is why i'm telling this story....
it was called the:
Androgynous Peripheral Attachment System (APAS)
it pioneered the technology that allowed both soviet/russian and us hardware (i.e. soyuz capsules, shuttles, progress resupply modules etc.) to all attach to the same docking ports on mir and the iss
this was not straightforward:
- both programs use a 'probe & drogue' male/female docking configuration - the APAS is 'female' on both ends
- the atmosphere in the soviet program was a sea level pressure mix of nitrogen and oxygen
- we use lower pressure pure oxygen
the APAS had to solve all of that, and it did
the 2025 Texas Longhorn Football Team is an APAS that got to orbit where we discovered that the soyuz docking ring is the 2025 texas offensive line:
it was built with imperial, not metric dimensions
docking fail
de-orbit without passing go or collecting $200
someone fucked up - it's a great googly moogly
this is what i'm most pissed about
