Yes and not quite. The aft APAS on the DM is slightly clocked from a pure 0. From my measurements, it's clocked 30°s CCW with the No.3 petal being angled towards the left side of the PLB when in the launch configuration. The aft DM APAS is the one that was used to dock with the orbiters, while the forward APAS docked with Mir's Kristall module APAS.The side opposite the ODS is right. Should not the ODS side be 180 off
DOCK_1_ID = 1
DOCK_1_NAME = Dock_1
DOCK_1_POS = 0 0 -2.9
DOCK_1_DIR = 0 0 -1
DOCK_1_ROT = -0.500011 0.866019 -0
DOCK_1_JETT = FALSE
DOCK_1_SOFTDOCK = FALSE
The APAS itself on the orbiters always had a black thermal blanket covering the bottom part which housed the actual mechanisms for the APAS. The same area of the in-space APAS units tended to be bleached over time due to the near constant exposure to severe UV radiation. So it started out black and over time turned into a ash-grey color.Thanks. So the dock will need to be adjusted.

We get this:
I might redo the ODS mesh. It seems a bit different those Those 6 black circles and the white part around them. Also the top is either black or light gray?
If you are using my APAS mesh, then it is all correct. Here's all the relevant dimensions that I used:BUT still not sure of the ODS docking size. The one I have seems to be a bit larger than the standard APAS. If they were the same size. I can redo the ODS mesh
Thanks. I will redo the mesh. I need to look at the whole ODS size. Mainly the top part that your part fits into.If you are using my APAS mesh, then it is all correct. Here's all the relevant dimensions that I used:
APAS measurements
Mechanical base Outer Diameter (OD): 1.552 m
Capture ring inner slope bottom diameter: 1.16 m
Capture ring inner slope top diameter: 1.2 m
Capture ring top face diameter: 1.22 m
Capture ring outer slop top diameter: 1.25 m
Structural ring Inner Diameter (ID): 1.255 m
Structural ring OD: 1.44 m
Vestibule diameter: 1.42418 m
Mine should not need any rework, just quick import and use. Unless you're talking about the external airlock of course.Thanks. I will redo the mesh.
