The Teleoperator Maneuvering System (TMS) is a Shuttle launched, free-flying, remotely controlled reusable propulsive stage capable of performing spacecraft and payload placement services, retrieval functions, assembly/servicing support for large space systems, dexterous manipulator operations for planned or contingency satellite servicing, satellite viewing, and subsatellite science support. The basic TMS segments, subsystems and performance are described, beginning with the criteria and requirements derived from mission models. Examples of TMS benefits to the STS and user communities are demonstrated. TMS applications such as support and servicing of Space Station, materials processing and subsatellite missions are presented.
