This paper describes the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) and its intended role as a key element of the National Space Transportation System. Various types of missions, operating modes, and performance capabilities for the OMV are described as are typical mission scenarios, with the OMV based at the Shuttle and at the Space Station (SS). Particular emphasis is placed on OMV missions in support of the SS. Retrieval of a spacecraft to the SS for servicing, followed by redeployment of the spacecraft to its operational orbit is typical of SS-based projected missions.
