The Remote Manipulator System (RMS) is a versatile robotic arm that supports both construction and operations aboard the International Space Station. Now your museum & science center guests can try it for themselves with A Call to RMS! A view of the slowly-spinning Earth provides a spectacular backdrop for this exercise in grappling a set of free-flying satellites from inside the Space Station's cupola. Each grapple is a little more challenging than the last, allowing the operator to gain experience and confidence as the simulation progresses.
