Expansion of Russian Orbital Segment

The ISS flight manifest drafted by Roskosmos at the end of summer 2020, set the launch of Prichal for September 6, 2021, with the docking to Nauka's nadir port two days later.[5] One port on Prichal is equipped with an active hybrid docking port, which enables docking with the Nauka/MLM module. The remaining five ports are passive hybrids, enabling docking of Soyuz and Progress vehicles, as well as heavier modules and future spacecraft with modified docking systems.[6]

A spacewalk is planned after the arrival Prichal at the station, with a second spacewalk (Anton Shkaplerov) planned for early fourth quarter of 2021. Six additional spacewalks will follow thru 2022 to complete the integration of the Nauka and Prichal modules into the Russian Orbital Segment.[6]

The Prichal module will become the second addition to the Russian Orbital Segment in 2021.
