The Rendezvous Docking Simulator at NASA's oldest field center was constructed for what program?
Langley Research Center Langley Research Center (LaRC) is the oldest of NASA's field centers, located in Hampton, Virginia, United States. It directly borders Langley Field and the city of Poquoson. LaRC has focused primarily on aeronautical research, but the Apollo lunar lander was flight-tested at the facility. In addition, a number of the earliest high-profile space missions were planned and designed on-site.
NASA Docking System The NASA Docking System (NDS) is a spacecraft docking and berthing mechanism being developed for future US human spaceflight vehicles, such as the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the Commercial Crew vehicles. The NDS is NASA’s implementation of the International Docking System Standard (IDSS), an attempt by the International Space Station Multilateral Coordination Board (MCB) to create an international spacecraft docking standard. The international Low Impact Docking System (iLIDS). is the precursor to the NDS. The NDS did not implement the "low impact" design goal of the iLIDS. The NDS Block 1, was designed and built by The Boeing Company in Houston TX, to meet the IDSS standards. It is currently (January 2017)being tested to complete it design qualification.
