Bishop is the first commercially-funded airlock module for the ISS; it will be attached to the Tranquility module of the ISS, allowing for the Canadarm 2 to attach it to one of the stations berthing ports where it will be used for deploying small satellites brought up to station on future missions.

This is from the cool animation video of the airlock removal and deployment… but showing the original Cargo Dragon which had flat panel solar panels deployed like wings).

    That is an impressive animation. I used to create some relatively simple animations using STK. No where near this capability. OTOH that was ten years ago.
