Abstract

One of the important components of the Virtual System Integration (VSI) process is subsystem testing. The Orbital Express Capture System (OECS), an important subsystem of the DARPA/Boeing Orbital Express Program Demonstration System, was put through 6 DOF testing at the Marshall Space Flight Center Contact Dynamics Simulation Laboratory. Aims of the testing were two-fold: verify proper functionality of the system in a flight-like test to give early indication of any design issues, and provide appropriate test data for correlation and validation of the capture system dynamics analysis model to support OECS verification. This paper will briefly review the VSI process, the Orbital Express program, the Orbital Express Capture System and describe recent 6 DOF testing of the Orbital Express 6 DOF Capture System.
