Abstract
The Flight Telerobotic Servicer (FTS) Program, initiated by NASA to provide new capabilities for task accomplishment in the space environment, is described. The FTS Program includes the following: a series of test flights, a ground-based supporting infrastructure, and a technology utilization and transfer process. The FTS Program strives to reduce Space Station dependence on crew EVA, improve crew safety, enhance crew utilization, provide remote servicing capabilities for platforms, and accelerate technology transfer from research to U.S. industry.
