| + | # Docking (not roomba action) |
| + | |
| + | Docking and berthing of spacecraft is the joining of two space vehicles. This connection can be temporary, or partially permanent such as for space station modules. |
| + | |
| + | Docking specifically refers to joining of two separate free-flying space vehicles. |
| + | Berthing refers to mating operations where a passive module/vehicle is placed into the mating interface of another space vehicle by using a robotic arm. |
| + | Because the modern process of un-berthing requires more crew labor and is time-consuming, berthing operations are unsuited for rapid crew evacuations in the event of an emergency. |
