Docking and attachment systems allow the user to simulate docking with a space station or other spacecraft, and rendezvous with and retrieval of satellites. [9] Users can also build space stations in orbit. [9] The Solar System as presented in Orbiter consists of the Sun, the eight planets and their major moons. [10]
The Rendezvous Docking Simulator, also known as the Real-Time Dynamic Simulator, is a simulator at the Langley Research Center. It was constructed for the Gemini program in Building 1244 and it became operational in June 1963 at a cost of $320,000 [ 4 ] and later reconfigured for the Apollo program. [ 4 ]
It was used for the first docking to a space station in the history of space flight, with the Soyuz 10 and Soyuz 11 missions that docked to the Soviet space station Salyut 1 in 1971. [1] [15] The docking system was upgraded in the mid-1980s to allow the docking of 20 ton modules to the Mir space station. [16]

Testing of the X-38 Low-Impact Docking System. In 1996, Johnson Space Center (JSC) began development of the Advanced Docking Berthing System, [3] which would later be called the X-38 Low-Impact Docking System. [4] [5] After the X-38 was canceled in 2002, development of the mating system continued, but its future was unknown. [3]
IDSS Rev D NDS, NASA's implementation of IDSS. The International Docking System Standard (IDSS) is an international standard for spacecraft docking adapters.It was created by the International Space Station Multilateral Coordination Board, on behalf of the International Space Station partner organizations; NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency.
Crew Dragon Demo-1 (officially Crew Demo-1, SpaceX Demo-1, or Demonstration Mission-1) [a] was the first orbital test of the Dragon 2 spacecraft. The mission launched on 2 March 2019 [ 3 ] [ 4 ] at 07:49:03 UTC , and arrived at the International Space Station on 3 March 2019, a little over 24 hours after the launch.
The Mobile Launcher Platform-1 on top of a crawler-transporter. A mobile launcher platform (MLP), also known as mobile launch platform, is a structure used to support a large multistage space vehicle which is assembled (stacked) vertically in an integration facility (e.g. the Vehicle Assembly Building) and then transported by a crawler-transporter (CT) to a launch pad.
