The opening, closing, and latching of the first large clamshell door to operate in space presented some unusual challenges for the mechanism designer of the Space Shuttle Program. The requirements, hardware configuration, design trade-offs, and qualification testing in process to meet the challenge and to make the system operational for the Shuttle orbiter's approaching first orbital flight are described.
