The design of a free-flying teleoperator (FFTO) intended to assist the Space Shuttle in performing its various missions is discussed, where FFTO is to be carried into earth orbit and returned to earth by the Shuttle. The FFTO system is described as to configuration, major subsystems, and mechanization concept. The kinematics of the manipulator and methods of sedating a satellite are discussed. Satellite equations of motion are provided, and cases of zero tumbling rate and non-zero tumbling rate are examined. Cases for which use of FFTO is compulsory are indicated, and the FFTO contributions to the Shuttle missions are analyzed.
