Major components
lists some of the major components as :
 * HCS Tunnel Assembly, which provides the structural integrity and accommodates seals, alignment pins and sensors.
 * HCS Hooks, with 12 independently driven hook units to achieve the structural mating, seal compressions and interface preload. It also accommodates the Contingency Release Devices, based on pyrobolts.
 * Separation System (three separators), which generates the required axial thrust to push off the hoisting vehicle from the ISS once the hooks are opened.
 * Two Resource Transfer Umbilical, with connectors to transfer power and data.
 * MMOD Cover, a Micro Meteorite and Orbital Debris Cover.
 * Thermal Control, active and passive (Multi-layer Insulation over the MMOD).
