  • Abstract
    The flight support system/servicing aid tool (FSS/SAT) consists of two systems: the FSS, a cradle used with the Shuttle to berth, position, and power satellites, and the SAT, a telerobot to be attached to the FSS. The author identifies the design goals of the FSS/SAT and discusses the major features of the SAT. Particular attention is given to the main components of the protoflight system, a motorized Mini-Master, integrated into the Shuttle´s aft flight deck, and an electric slave, integrated into the FSS and installed in the Shuttle´s cargo bay
