Does anyone have any knowledge of the D-16 Space Maintenance Experiment?

I have come across a detailed description with many photos through Martin publications and the Air Force. Was it ever implemented?

I appreciate the insight in advance.

Portions of that experiment were included on Gemini VIII and XI, keeping in mind that VIII was cut short. Some tools are on display at the USAF Museum. This experiment was managed at the Wright-Patt labs. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss if you are interested.
