Description
The Teleoperator Maneuvering System (TMS) is a Shuttlelaunched, free-flying, remotely controlled, reusable orbital support vehicle capable of providing a wide range of placement, maneuvering, retrieval, and maintenance/repair "user" services for future satellites and for large space systems being planned for the late 80's and beyond. The TMS will greatly extend the operating range and altitudes provided by the basic Space Transportation System (STS) in low Earth orbit; similar capabilities are also provided at geosynchronous altitudes when the TMS is delivered to that location with the Centaur or alternative upper stages.
Basic TMS capabilities for both long duration and short term orbital missions, including Space Station support operations, will be described. The combined utilitarian, performance, and economic benefits offered to the user community by the TMS program will also be presented.
