The Astronaut Maneuvering Unit is a concept which provides man with the capability to translate be tween orbiting space vehicles while performing maintenance, assembly, and repairs. To prove the feasibility of this concept an experimental pack was fabricated by the Chance-Vought Corporation and delivered to the Air Force for testing. The pack was flown on approximately 100 different parabolic trajectories by Air Force personnel in the KC-135 zero G aircraft. Tests were conducted to evaluate various parameters such as configura tion, stabilization, maneuverability and man machine relationships. This report reviews the results of these tests. (Author)
