| + | |||
| + | with other UMMU vessels. | ||
| + | |||

| + | ==The Universal MMU== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The '''Universal MMU''' is a generic spacesuit with enhanced maneuverability. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It has can grapple objects and move them. | ||

| + | |||
| + | example contained in the documentation folder(".\Doc\UMmu_SDK | ||
| + | |||
| + | \UMmu_ShuttlePB_Example"). The library "UMmuSDK.lib" is linked against the | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2005 version of visual C++, which means that VC6 users need to include the | ||
| + | |||
| + | VC2005 Express standard libraries instead of the VC6 standard libraries. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Interfaces in Orbiter=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The UMMU has three [[attachment points]], one parent->child for grappling | ||
| + | |||
| + | objects, another parent->child for installing special backpacks, called | ||
| + | |||
| + | "TurboPacks", with the identifer "TurboMmu". The third is a child->parent | ||
| + | |||
| + | attachment point and has the type identifier "GRAPME". | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Limitations=== | ||
| + | * Only the primary docking port (ID 0) can be used for crew transfer. | ||
| + | * Only one airlock. | ||
| + | * Astronauts can only start an EVA when the primary docking port is not used. | ||

| − | + | Also, the '''UMMU''' license demands that full compatibility with the | |
| − | + | ||

| − | + | ||
| + | intended to prevent addon developers unable to include UMMU support in their | ||
