A recently completed facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center incorporates what we believe to be the world's largest manipulator, having a reach of 15 m (49 ft). The facility is intended to provide engineering simulation of the shuttle orbiter's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) and for the development and evaluation of hardware and operational procedures. The manipulator uses, where practical, components from a previous simulator and from General Electric's MAN-MATE Industrial Manipulator. The Manipulator control has been modified, using a computer, to include resolved rate and preprogrammed motion. The system will greatly aid the study of problems associated with payload deployment and retrieval, e.g., lighting, video camera location, and establishment of timelines.
