DESIGN OF A CONSTANT ATTITUDE TARGET FOR RENDEZVOUS WITH REMOTE MANEUVERING UNIT.
Abstract
A target satellite is designed to provide a test of the Remote Maneuvering Unit's rendezvous, television and radar capabilities and meet certain requirements imposed by NASA. A Fortran program is developed to calculate target trajectories based on perturbation theory and an atmospheric model which considers oblateness, solar heating and rotation.
