If you carefully look at the opening of the crew capsule it looks like it has been designed for docking missions as well. Can anyone put some light on that.

Just judging by looks it seems similar to the orion and other capsules that can dock. Secondly, does the capsule have any thrusters on the side for positioning??

Good luck aready lost my sleep
