[FPSPACE] FGB ports

[David Anderman]

Bart:

Thanks for the information, which implies that the FGB contains 3 different 
docking systems - APAS, to connect to the Unity Node - Probe and Cone at 
the nadir port to connect with Progress, and Hybrid, to connect with the 
Service Module.

Does anyone know why the Service Module's nadir port is Hybrid, but the FGB 
nadir port is Probe and Cone?
