The Boeing Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) Docking and Proximity Operation System (DAPOS) was completed. The system constructed involves the use of four separate processors. Appropriate software was developed that drives each of these four processors. The hand controller logic coordinates all the activities in the control station, and communicates with the OMV mathematical model. The state vector generated by the model is in turn transmitted to the control station as well as the POLY 2000 (via the ALCYON host computer) for real time graphics generation. The OMV characteristics are stored in a data file which may be easily updated and modified without disturbing the software, thereby making the system very flexible. The current system supports two types of hand controllers. The system was flown by several volunteers, some of whom are airplane pilots. A user manual is also enclosed.
