OBS

RCA is developing a Shuttle Compatible Orbital Transfer Subsystem (SCOTS) for delivering communications satellites in a transfer orbit from the Space Shuttle parking orbit. SCOTS includes guidance and control equipment, a solid-rocket motor, and a reusable cradle assembly in the shuttle cargo bay. Separation from the bay is accomplished by a simple spring mechanism to eject the spacecraft into a nonspinning, free-float mode.
