It's the dome shaped thing on the axial CBM port. That's really all it
is. You open the CBM hatch, load this thing up with nano-satellites,
close the CBM hatch, undo the CBM attachment (motorized bolts), then use
the SSRMS to grab the dome shaped thing and aim it the other way for
satellite deployment.

Retreival of satellites after exposure to space?
