The objective initially proposed was to analyze shuttle remote manipulator (SRM) performance data collected during a Shuttle Flight. The data was to consist of video TRAC data collected via a video recorder. Unfortunately, the flight never collected the data due to higher priority experiments superseding it. As a result, the research team at Texas A&M was directed to work on several other pressing issues regarding the TRAC sensor. All but one of these issues were reported earlier in the form of periodic status reports. In fulfillment of the grant conditions, the last issue investigated is being reported as the final report. Ordinarily, a TRAC sensor determines the orientation of an object by analyzing the image reflected from a mirror target. The concern addressed is to develop a method for using the TRAC sensor when the target does not reflect a usable image.
