The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System and its flight tests
Abstract
The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS) has now been flown on seven Space Shuttle Orbiter missions with an eighth mission imminent in June, 1984. This paper describes the design features of the SRMS, a six degree of freedom anthropomorphic man-machine system, and summarizes the results of its Orbital Flight Tests (OFT's) aimed at verifying performance and validating simulation models. In general, behavior and performance of the system has closely followed predictions made by nonreal-time and real-time simulations. Some typical comparisons are presented. Mention is made of operational performance demonstrated on recent flights.
