One of a series of three photos of the next station module that will launch--the Russian Docking Compartment, named Pirs, the Russian word for pier. The module is planned for launch from Baikonur Sept. 14, and to dock with the station on Sept. 16. It will serve as a Russian airlock for the station and also will provide a docking port for Soyuz or Progress craft arriving at the station. This image shows the Pirs under construction at Energia in Moscow
