AbstractThis guideline provides technical information for the design of three mechanical interfaces required for spacecraft servicing - grasping by telerobotic or visual manipulation, berthing of payloads or spacecraft, and the docking of spacecraft. Achieving a degree of commonality individually and collectively for this general class of interface will simplify the servicing of a variety of ORUs, Attached Payloads, Platforms, Space Station Freedom, Satellites, and other passive and mobile Spacecraft. The invaluable experience of past missions from Gemini to the Shuttle Orbiter provides the basis for the information contained in this document.
