Bodies/systems need to be stopped and locked/latched at the end of their path. Some examples of these systems in the aerospace industry (including launch vehicle, spacecraft, and the ground support equipment) are the command module access arm, service arms, docking module of the ASTP and the orbiter access arm for the space shuttle. Two major aspects are covered: (1) various methods of latching and (2) selection of the optimum method for latching, depending on the application and the design requirement criteria.
