OHIO ART TOY SPACE SHUTTLE
DISCUSSION
Birthed in the cargo bay of the OHIO ART SPACE SHUTTLE is an orbital
maneuvering vehicle (OMV). An OMV is a type of space tug boat whose
mission is to move space satellites, cargo, and structures in orbit
without the aid of the space shuttle. The space shuttle deploys
the OMV with the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robotic arm. The
toy space shuttle pictured above has two astronauts seated side by
side. Though the astronauts have helmets, their faces are exposed
to the vacuum of space. The astronauts should be isolated from the
environment of space using space suits and sealed helmets in order to
survive.
