A test bed for simulation of rendezvous and docking (RVD) of spacecraft and related to robotics, telemanipulation and servicing in space including berthing operations is described. The test bed provides nine mechanical degrees of freedom and is primarily designed to enable computer controlled simulations in real time and real size. In the case of RVD scaled simulations are envisaged.
