Prichal (ISS module)
Prichal nodal module also known as Uzlovoy Module or UM (Russian: Узловой Модуль "Причал", Nodal Module Berth) is a Russian spacecraft which is part of the International Space Station (ISS). It was approved in 2011 and was launched on 24 November 2021, at 13:06:35 UTC, atop Progress M-UM, with operations beginning in 2022. Originally, the nodal module was intended to serve as the only permanent element of the future Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex (OPSEK), but those plans were scrapped in 2017.
