$\begingroup$ Of course, that is Russian side that already has 4 ports available for docking. Nakua will replace an existing, and the UM will only offer one docking port (need to be moved to side port to free it up once docked). I was thinking Russian side had plenty of space, but US side seems a bit sparse, considering all the traffic due. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ And actually, since the UM is docked to the nadir end of Nakua, it means no additional 'docking' ports, only additional connection ports. Which matters. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ As I looked at info on the Lyappa arm on Mir, for shuffling modules about in the question: space.stackexchange.com/questions/2266/… I wonder if the UM will have 'dockable' side ports for Soyuz/Progress/ATV or only the nadir node? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ There was a report in 2010. At least one of them is said to be hybrid. That means it is possible to change probe to drouge inflight. And it is said there will be the re-docking manipulator. interfax.ru/world/169881 $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… for the description of the hybrid. $\endgroup$
