A major subsystem aboard the Shuttle Orbiter, the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) provides the capability to deploy and retrieve free-flying satellites, support attached payload operations, and aid in crewmember rescue from a disabled vehicle should the requirement arise. The Remote Manipulator System consists of 15.3-m (50 ft) articulated booms, end effectors, operator workstation, and closed circuit video, power and control subsystems. The manipulator booms (or arms) and end effectors are located in the Orbiter payload bay and operated from inside the cabin by one crewmember. This paper is primarily concerned with the design and development of the RMS operator's workstation, the man-machine engineering features and interfaces, and man-in-the-loop simulations and testing results obtained to date by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
