In 2001 during ISS (International Space Station) assembly Flight 8A, the central truss element (SO truss) will be integrated to the Space Station. The SSRMS will be used to maneuver and install the SO truss on the space station. The analysis and simulations are presented which were performed by MDR (MacDonald Dettwiler Space and Advanced Robotics) at the Canadian Space Agency to study the performance and feasibility issues involved in the SSRMS maneuvering and berthing of the SO truss. Various stages of the SSRMS operations are discussed in terms of modeling and analysis, namely: grappling the SO truss, extracting it from the orbiter payload bay maneuvering it to its berthing location and finally berthing the SO truss to the space station. Also presented is the role of critical analysis tools such as RAMPS, a generic kinematics analysis software package; MDSF, a generic development and simulation facility for complex elastic multi-body systems; IGRIP, a CAD tool used to develop interface contact geometry; and CPGF, an automated control parameters generation function. Thorough analysis and simulation of SSRMS operations during Flight BA ensures that the mission can be completed safely and successfully.
