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.
