COMMON BERTHING MECHANISM (CBM)
The Common Berthing Mechanism is the part that connects the different modules of the US Orbital Segment on the International Space Station, aswell as visiting vehicles.
ACTIVE HALF
176 PARTS
The Active half is mainly used on visiting ISS vehicles, such as Dragon 1, Cygnus and HTV.
It is also used on (one of) the ends in multiple ISS modules, while all radial nodes are passive.
PASSIVE HALF
- Can be found here.
HOW TO MOVE IT
Grab the port by the root part. It is coloured in bright orange, after being put in place the root can be painted transparent.

@CardZlol 实际上从结构上来说,APAS-75、APAS-89以及航天飞机用的APAS上,既拥有导向花瓣上的锁扣,也有相对应的三个锁扣,也有可以伸出的环。也就是从结构上来说,这几种是可以主动被动互换的。而国际空间站上的APAS-95则是被阉割的版本,缺乏可以伸出的环以及花瓣上的锁扣,它只能作为被动端。所以我强调了是“完整状态”的才行。

Actually, from the structural point of view, APAS-75, APAS-89 and APAS for space shuttle have both the lock on the guide petal, the corresponding three locks and the extendable ring. That is to say, from the structural point of view, these types can be actively and passively interchanged. However, APAS-95 on the International Space Station is a castrated version, lacking a ring that can be extended and a lock on the petals. It can only be used as a passive end. So I emphasized that it is "complete state". -

@3DExplorer Those are also not really androgynous, only when talking about soft capture.
APAS 75, APAS 89, APAS 95 and the following Nasa Docking System have passive and active sides, and can only soft capture to eachother. -
