The definitive reference for space engineers on rendezvous and docking/berthing (RVD/B) related issues, this book answers key questions such as: How does the docking vehicle accurately approach the target spacecraft? What technology is needed aboard the spacecraft to perform automatic rendezvous and docking, and what systems are required by ground control to supervise this process? How can the proper functioning of all rendezvous-related equipment, systems and operations be verified before launch? The book provides an overview of the major issues governing approach and mating strategies, and system concepts for rendezvous and docking/berthing. These issues are described and explained such that aerospace engineers, students and even newcomers to the field can acquire a basic understanding of RVD/B. The author would like to extend his thanks to Dr Shufan Wu, GNC specialist and translator of the book's Chinese edition, for his help in the compilation of these important errata.

Non-cooperative spacecrafts are those current or future assets in orbit which have lost their control authority in one or more degrees of freedom and cannot convey any information concerning their position, attitude or rates to facilitate Rendezvous and Docking/Berthing (RVD/B) process. A growing field of study in space research is to develop On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) technology capable of dealing with these space- crafts, called targets, which are designed without any intention to be serviced. To render services such as repair, refuel or removal of the target from orbit, the chaser spacecraft should exhibit sophisticated RVD/B technology for formation fly and final stage docking/berthing operations of the mission. Assuming that the terminal capture operations of the target are to be performed by a suitable manipulator system on-board chaser, this study relies upon proven technology and outlines guidance and control methodologies to achieve rendezvous during proximity phases. The entry gate of chaser after phasing can be defined at a distance of about 5 km in ± V-bar direction from the target in its orbit. To account for errors in modeling, navigation or actuation, proximity range operations from the entry gate are decomposed into three different subphases as far range, inspection or fly around and closer approach. From the entry gate and along the path of the chaser two hold points are defined: first to initiate an inspection and the second, which is close to the safe zone defined around the target, to initiate a capture. The chaser is assumed to perform a station keeping maneuver at the second hold point until initial conditions for the capture are met. Possible scenarios pertaining to the behavior of the target in a circular orbit are considered and guidance schemes for different subphases are presented using a combination of Hill-Clohessy-Willtshire (HCW) solution, elliptical fly around, glides- lope algorithm etc. Relative controllers both for position and attitude of the chaser are also presented. A Linear Quadratic (LQ) controller for relative position and a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for relative attitude with angular velocity constraints are chosen to track down the error to achieve rendezvous and attitude synchronization with the non-cooperative target. A comparative analysis between different guidance trajectories for important parameters such as time, fuel usage, minimum absolute distance and the maximum radial distance from the target is presented. Verification of the proposed guidance and control methods is done by applying them to two different case studies: the first study incorporating a stabilized target in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and the second, with a spinning target in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The methods presented here are general and provide a simulator to the chaser to perform rendezvous analysis with non-cooperative targets. To achieve RVD/B, the study proposes a careful combination of guidance solutions for different phases of proximity operations, and for different scenario’s of the target encountered by the chaser.

This book focuses on the theory and design methods for guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) in the context of spacecraft rendezvous and docking (RVD). The position and attitude dynamics and kinematics equations for RVD are presented systematically in accordance with several different coordinate systems, including elliptical orbital frame, and recommendations are supplied on which of these equations to use in different phases of RVD. The book subsequently explains the basic principles and relative navigation algorithms of RVD sensors such as GNSS, radar, and camera-type RVD sensors. It also provides guidance algorithms and schemes for different phases of RVD, including the latest research advances in rapid RVD. In turn, the book presents a detailed introduction to intelligent adaptive control and proposes corresponding theoretical approaches to thruster configuration and control allocation for RVD. Emphasis is placed on the design method of active and passive trajectory protection in different phases of RVD, and on the safety design of the RVD mission as a whole. For purposes of verification, the Shenzhou spacecraft’s in-orbit flight mission is introduced as well. All issues addressed are described and explained from basic principles to detailed engineering methods and examples, providing aerospace engineers and students both a basic understanding of, and numerous practical engineering methods for, GNC system design in RVD.

The purpose of this report is to analyze the relative motion which exists between an interceptor and target vehicle in the final stages of orbital rendezvous. Four distinct types of nearby parking orbits were defined. It was assumed that a man wearing an extra-vehicular suit and a self-maneuvering unit would exit the interceptor and traverse the remaining distance to the target. Both two-impulse transfers and continuous-thrust line-of-sight transfers were analyzed. It was found that the direction in which the man should aim himself to make a two-impulse transfer depends only on the time he wishes to consume in the rendezvous and does not depend on the distance to be traveled. Comparisons of fuel consumption for the two-impulse technique and the line-of-sight technique were made and an optimum transfer combining both these techniques was suggested. The results of this study indicate that Coriolis forces and tidal effects cannot be neglected even at the relatively short ranges associated with orbital docking.

The Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) Technical Discipline Team (TDT) sponsored Dr. J. Russell Carpenter, a Navigation and Rendezvous Subject Matter Expert (SME) from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), to provide support to the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Orbital Express (OE) rendezvous and docking flight test that was conducted in 2007. When that DARPA OE mission was completed, Mr. Neil Dennehy, NASA Technical Fellow for GN&C, requested Dr. Carpenter document his findings (lessons learned) and recommendations for future rendezvous missions resulting from his OE support experience. This report captures lessons specifically from anomalies that occurred during one of OE's unmated operations. Dennehy, Cornelius J. and Carpenter, James R.

The book contains systematized and generalized materials on the theoretical and experimental investigations of rendezvous and docking of space vehicles in orbit. The areas of application and the basic stages of rendezvous are examined. Possible maneuvers and trajectories are given for placing space vehicles in the rendezvous zone, and also methods of synthesis of these trajectories and methods of guidance which are necessary for placing a vehicle on intermediate orbits and directly in the rendezvous zone.
