The Interrupters, "A Friend Like Me" from The Interrupters (Space Cadet Mike Papa DSKY)
Skammentary: The Docking Module provided an airlock between the Apollo & Soyuz capsules, which normally operated at different atmospheric pressures & with different gas mixtures. The Androgynous Peripheral Attach System was jointly developed by the Americans & the Soviets, to allow either side to function as either the "active" or the "passive" partner. It was the basis of the docking system used twenty years later during the Shuttle-Mirprogram & continuing today on the International Space Station. The Docking Module was stored where the Lunar Module would have gone atop the S-IVB second stage, & extracted using a smilar manuever.
