Orbital maintenance concepts were investigated and the equipment for one-g demonstrations of axial and radial module exchange was designed in three control modes: manual direct control, supervisory control, and manually augmented control. Significant results obtained and the conclusions drawn are presented and discussed. The overall conclusion is that on-orbit servicing should be established as an ongoing space transportation system capability
