 |  Poisk, Mini-Research Module-2 (MRM-2)
 10 November 2009
The Russian Poisk module, also known as Mini-Research Module-2 (MRM-2) was launched from the
Baykonur Cosmodrome on 10 November 2009, and docked to the Zvezda module’s zenith port on ISS
on 12 November. Poisk will serve as an additional docking port for Soyuz and Progress vehicles as well
as an airlock for ExtraVehicular Activities (EVA). On 14 January 2010, Expedition 22 cosmonauts
Maxim Surayev and Oleg Kotov conducted a 5-hour 44-minunte EVA to complete outfitting Poisk as a
docking port. It was first used in that capacity on 21 January when the Soyuz TMA16 spacecraft was
relocated there.
