I found a techno-thriller called The Hunting of Salyut 7 (Cover attached). It seems to have been intended for release around the time of the Space Shuttles planned first flight in 1979. It finally came out in 1981.
The shuttle featured in it is a thinly disguised Columbia (aka 'Orbiter 102'). The author chose to outfit his version of Columbia with an RMS system ending in a grasping claw as shown on the attached cover.
This might make for a Columbia-specific addon for the Shuttle Fleet or perphaps an alternate Universal RMS.
