Abstract
A mathematical model was designed and developed of the Or bital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV), a critical part of the OMV man-in-the-loop simulation at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama. The OMV evaluator is a full-scale, six- degree-of-freedom simulator that can replicate the motion of the actual OMV spacecraft in orbit. Translational and rotational equa tions of motion that model the OMV are presented. Simulation results that verify the correctness of the model are also given. This high-fidelity simulator is valuable for crew training, develop ing and testing new teleoperated equipment, and verification of the OMV final design. The evaluator also serves as an impor tant test ground for determining the capabilities of the OMV in performing orbital operations.
