Thanks "In order to line up this new piece of truss with the one already installed on the laboratory, we used a system called the space vision system (SVS) in addition to the camera views. This system determines the distance between strategically placed black dots on the previously installed structure relative to the piece of structure that is being installed. " ====== The Shuttle's Canadian-built mechanical arm has been enhanced with a new "Space Vision System" (SVS) that will help the operator literally see around corners. Tested on past Space Shuttle missions STS-74, STS-80 and STS-85, the SVS uses video image processing and a series of markings on the objects being maneuvered to develop a graphical laptop computer display to assist the arm operator. It allows the Shuttle arm to be operated with great precision even when visibility is obstructed, and the system was used operationally for the first time during the first assembly mission as astronaut Nancy Currie, with her view partially obstructed, attached the first station component, the Zarya control module, to the second component, the Unity connecting module.
