• Defining optimal point-to-point transfer surfaces for orbital path-constrained rendezvous

  Authors: Kerry M. Soileau

  Many scenarios for future orbital operations involve maneuvering in proximity to such large space structures as the Space Station Freedom; in most cases, the accidental contact of a vehicle with suchMany scenarios for future orbital operations involve maneuvering in proximity to such large space structures as the Space Station Freedom; in most cases, the accidental contact of a vehicle with such a structure will be dangerous and must be avoided. Classical rendezvous targeting is inadequate for this purpose, because it recognizes no restraint on the path between the point of departure and the desired point of arrival. A computer program has been devised to minimize this susceptibility. Surfaces are found to exist whose penalty is less than that of a sphere, though not markedly less.
