The International Space Station is about to get the hardware it needs to be able to greet new spaceships: the International Docking Adapter. NASA Commentator Pat Ryan talks with Sean Kelly, NASA’s senior project manager in the Development Projects Office, about the mechanisms that will be installed on the Pressurized Mating Adapters and make it possible for new commercial crew vehicles, and potentially other spacecraft, to mate to the space station. The first of two IDAs is to be installed during a spacewalk by astronauts Jeff Williams and Kate Rubins in August.
