Based on a low impact docking concept and a latching mechanism concept, a docking/berthing subsystem and its operations were defined. A set of four breadboard models of the latch were manufactured and locking tests were performed on a four degree of freedom air bearing table. The tests demonstrate feasibility of the low impact docking concept under the test facility conditions.
