CENTER SERIES DOCKING and RENDEZVOUS Inventory DOCKING AND RENDEZVOUS Rev Date:5/9/2000 Section 093 CENTER SERIES DOCKING AND RENDEZVOUS This subseries consists of documents related to the design and operation of orbital docking mechanisms for spacecraft rendezvous. This includes correspondence, contractor reports, design notes, and other materials related to Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and Space Station docking technology. In addition, the subseries includes information on international docking systems (with emphasis on the Soviet Salyut spacecraft). Of particular interest is a large group of materials from the early 1960's on the subject of Lunar Orbital Rendezvous. They originate with the papers of John C. Houbolt, D. Brainerd Holmes, and John Eggleston. The documents are dated from 1960 through 1988 and were collected by Mark Clark in the course of research for a historical thesis on docking technology. (A copy of the completed paper is included in the series.) Material is arranged chronologically. Reports are filed separately from the correspondence.

I confirm that: This work was done wholly while in candidature for a research degree at both Universities. Where any part of this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree or any other qualification, this has been clearly stated. Where I have consulted the published work of others, this is always clearly at- tributed. Where I have quoted from the work of others, the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations, this thesis is entirely my own work. I have acknowledged all main sources of help. Signed: Date: 15.10.2014 i Abstract Docking mechanism of two spacecraft is considered as one of the main challenging as- pects of an on-orbit servicing mission. This thesis presents the modeling, analysis and software simulation of one of the docking mechanisms called "probe and drogue". The aim of this thesis is to model the docking mechanism, simulate the docking process and use the results as a reference for the Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation (HIL) of the docking mechanism, in order to verify and validate it.

  • ISS Interface Mechanisms and Their Lineage
    ISS Interface Mechanisms and their Heritage The International Space Station, by nurturing technological development of a variety of pressurized and unpressurized interface mechanisms fosters “competition at the technology level”. Such redundancy and diversity allows for the development and testing of mechanisms that might be used for future exploration efforts. The International Space Station, as a test-bed for exploration, has 4 types of pressurized interfaces between elements and 6 unpressurized attachment mechanisms. Lessons learned from the design, test and operations of these mechanisms will help inform the design for a new international standard pressurized docking mechanism for the NASA Docking System. This paper will examine the attachment mechanisms on the ISS and their attributes. It will also look ahead at the new NASA docking system and trace its lineage to heritage mechanisms.
