In April 2012, NASA directed Boeing to conduct a study to assess the feasibility of implementing a simplified soft capture system, as a possible replacement for the soft capture system portion of the baseline NASA Docking System (NDS). This paper describes the study conducted and conclusions drawn that supported the selection of the Soft Impact Mating and Attenuation Concept (SIMAC) as the replacement of the International Low Impact Docking System's (iLIDS) soft capture system.
