The Lunar Orbiter was designed of a descent module, a habitable
module containing a dedicated compartment accommodating
an attitude control and berthing engines and a docking system
mechanism, instrumentation and propulsion and power compartments
where rocket stage I and power system equipment working
on oxygen-hydrogen propellants were accommodated. The habitable
compartment was simultaneously serving as an airlock for
cosmonauts to move to the lunar vehicle through open space
(in space suit Krechet).
