EVA assembly and release of highly loaded boltsThe modification of a multi-jackbolt mechanism, Superbolt(TM), for on-orbit release of highly loaded bolts is described. Preload and release test data demonstrate that modification of a commercial product produced a solution for the deployment of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) that was less expensive, faster, and lighter than other alternatives. Using the Superbolt design, virtually unlimited bolt loads can be applied or released with a standard wrench.
