Textures are meticulously included, featuring realistic diffuse and bump maps with maximum dimensions reaching up to 4096 pixels. This level of detail allows for an incredibly immersive experience. The Pirs docking compartment is a Russian module that forms a vital component of the International Space Station (ISS). The Pirs module, also known as "Stikovochny Otsek 1" or "SO-1", is one of two original Russian docking compartments planned for the ISS. Launched in August 2001, it serves as a crucial docking port for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft, enabling cosmonauts to conduct spacewalks while wearing Orlan space suits. In 2001, the Russian segment of the ISS underwent significant redesign, resulting in the cancellation of the SO-2 module's construction. The abandoned plans for SO-2 would eventually become the basis for the Poisk module. The Pirs Docking Compartment plays a dual role within the ISS: it functions as both an airlock and a docking port. Two primary airlocks are utilized by cosmonauts donning Russian Orlan-M spacesuits, facilitating safe spacewalks. The docking port is designed to accommodate either one Soyuz-TMA or one Progress-M spacecraft, allowing for the transportation of people and cargo between visiting spacecraft and the ISS. Furthermore, the Pirs Docking Compartment enables the transfer of fuel from a docked Progress resupply vehicle's fuel tanks to either the Zvezda Service Module Integrated Propulsion System or the Zarya Functional Cargo Block. In addition, it can transport propellant from Zvezda and Zarya to the propulsion system of docked vehicles such as Soyuz and Progress.
