Docking
The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) during its missions. The shuttle used a docking mechanism called the Orbiter Docking System to connect with the ISS.
There is debris such as satellites, gloves, nuts, etc. in outer space. Docking is a space word.
The space shuttle's docking port was located at the nose of the orbiter. When docked with the International Space Station, the shuttle's docking mechanism connected to a corresponding port on the ISS to allow for crew and cargo transfer between the two spacecraft.
During launch the space shuttle speeds up to 17500 MPH. In orbit the space station is going about the same speed. So the shuttle does not have to slow down much. At docking the relative speed of the ISS and shuttle is about 1-2 inchs per second.
When two spacecraft are joined in space it is called docking.
Term used they are docking.
The first space docking took place on March 16, 1966, during the Gemini 8 mission. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott successfully docked their spacecraft with an unmanned Agena target vehicle in Earth's orbit.

The project was named Gemini. Gemini was a NASA space program that aimed to test rendezvous and docking procedures in space in preparation for the Apollo missions to the Moon. It involved launching spacecraft with two astronauts on board to practice crucial maneuvers required for space travel.
Docking in space refers to the process of connecting two spacecraft together while in orbit. This is typically done to transfer crew members, cargo, or fuel between the two spacecraft. Docking is a crucial step in supporting long-duration space missions and international collaboration in space.
