['Danny Pettit', 'Maria Mollenkopf', 'Ron Fowler']

Date: 2021-07-29  

The uncrewed Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM), named Nauka, the Russian word for “science,” arrived at the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module on the Earth-facing side of the Russian segment at 9:29 a.m. EDT, eight days after lifting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Nauka will serve as a new science facility, docking port, and spacewalk airlock for future operations.
