Manned space docking simulation was put into operation at The Boeing Co; moving base simulation provided 6 degrees of freedom for chase vehicle relative to attitude stabilized target and was limited to closure of last 80 ft; results include pilot ratings, accuracy of alignment and velocity at contact, attitude and translation fuel requirements; preliminary handling quality criteria for docking situation were developed.
