This paper describes the Annular Suspension and Pointing System (ASPS) being developed to support NASA Shuttle payloads in the 1980s. The ASPS employs a unique magnetic suspension system to isolate Shuttle payloads from Orbiter disturbances and provide vernier control of the payload's attitude, thereby allowing extremely accurate and stable pointing. A description of the system design, configurations, and performance goals is given. Component and system development testing of the full-size ASPS Engineering Development Model is described, and hardware photographs and test configurations are presented.
