Jun 29, 2015 at 13:08 comment added ForgeMonkey @mins That's true for Progress and ATV, but not Dragon, HTV, and Cygnus. They all have to share CBM ports.
Jun 29, 2015 at 13:06 comment added mins Any value for this naive argument? When there are 6 crews, two docking ports are used by Soyuz return crafts, only one when there are 3 crews aboard. So there is one more port potentially available.
