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]
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]
NASA will provide live coverage of the relocation beginning at 6:15 a.m. EST on NASA+, which will end shortly after docking. Redocking of SpaceX Dragon will make room for resupply mission.

Experts say such in-space docking of two crafts is vital for operating space stations, spacecraft control, and payload operations. The pivotal docking test is slated to take place in about a week ...
The international Low Impact Docking System (iLIDS) [1] was the precursor to the NDS. NDS Block 1 was designed, built, and tested by The Boeing Company in Huntsville Alabama. Design qualification testing took place through January 2017. Using NDS, NASA developed the International Docking Adapter (IDA) to provide two IDSS-compliant docking ports ...
Indian space agency Isro has for the first time successfully conducted space docking by joining together two small craft in space. The technology is essential for the country's future ambition to ...
