Docking Compartment-1

 

This Russian built (Energia) docking compartment allowed the docking of a second Soyuz craft or Progress cargo module without undocking a current Progress module. It also provided a second airlock from which space walks could be initiated.

Pirs was permanently undocked and deorbited on 26 July 2021.
