This report is a review of recently available information concerning orbital docking simulators and their use. The survey was limited primarily to docking simulators that have been used since 1960, but includes descriptions of several simulators that are currently being installed and are not yet operational. This study covered docking simulators that were designed and used as research tools as opposed to those used primarily as training devices. Trips were made to a number of simulation facilities in order to supplement the information available in the published literature. (Author)
