On-orbit satellite servicing has been demonstrated on a variety of missions using the Space Shuttle. This capability is also a stated goal of the Space Station and other unmanned vehicles. Serviceable spacecraft should be able to take advantage of all these servicing facilities. This paper will discuss one effort to document currently available or nearly operational servicing interfaces. Availability of this type of compiled information will assist in a smooth transition from Shuttle-based satellite servicing to servicing at a wider range of locations and by different servicing vehicles.
