One of the important achievements of space technology is the solution of the problem of orbital docking. Described in detail are two docking methods: the probe-cone method and the androgenic method. Diagrams of the probe-cone mechanism utilized for docking Soyuz-11 and the Salyut space station are included and the androgenic mechanism being developed for the Apollo-Soyuz joint space flight is developed. In addition, there are sketches illustrating spaceship rendezvous and docking in space and transfer of astronauts from one ship to the other. (Author)
