ABSTRACT:
A structural latch is provided for mechanically joining vehicle coupling mechanisms such as spacecraft coupling and berthing mechanisms. The structural latch is manually operable to join the coupling mechanisms. Each structural latch is configured to be readily removable from the joined coupling mechanisms in the event the latch becomes inoperable so as to effect coupling mechanism separation.
