Hermes operational and spacecraft technology studies are summarized. Requirements and concepts for manned rendezvous and docking; a docking adaptor mechanism; transfer airlock requirements; control of docked Hermes-Columbus elements; extravehicular activities; general requirements, human factors engineering, and life support systems; protection against radiation in space; and manipulator adaptation were studied. High performance composite structures; propulsion systems for reusable man-rated spacecraft; signal compression; optical bus; communication processors; antenna pattern prediction software; common power technology; fuel cells for space use; environmental control and life support technology; and subsonic wind tunnel tests are discussed.
