TITLE AN END EFFECTOR ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE The end effector forms part of the relocatable space station remote manipulator system. The end effector has grappling capabilities and latching capabilities and may include a force moment sensor which can cooperate with the arm in order to align the end effector with a grapple fixture without the aid of a grappling mechanism. The function of the end effector, when two are installed, one on each end of a symmetrical manipulator arm is to provide the capability to interchange the wrist and shoulder functions of the arm, thus enabling the manipulator to be self relocatable. The end effector combines the snare and rigidizing features of existing end effectors with new latching and umbilical electrical power and signal transfer features.
