Abstract
The development test flight (DTF-1) is the first of two Space Shuttle flights to test operations of the Flight Telerobotic Servicer (FTS) in space and to demonstrate its capabilities in performing tasks for Space Station Freedom. The DTF-1 system is scheduled to be flown in early 1993 as an attached payload on the Shuttle. The authors discuss the design of the DTF-1 system, the tests to be performed, and the data to be gathered
