NASA is developing space telerobotic systems to construct, service and maintain complex space hardware. These systems will be controlled by an astronaut operator in space. Preliminary mission procedures have been developed and typical task elements have been selected. The present study simulates some of these procedures, tasks and devices in the laboratory in order to obtain initial operator/robot system performance data.
