Automated Rendezvous and Docking of Spacecraft

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