Flyby

What is the difference between docking and berthing?

Docking involves a rigid connection, while berthing involves a flexible connection
Docking is used for crew transfer, while berthing is used for cargo transfer
Docking is used for long-term connections, while berthing is used for short-term connections
Docking is used for spacecraft in the same orbit, while berthing is used for spacecraft in different orbits
