Rendezvous in Orbit,

Abstract

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.
