Study results on autonomous rendezvous and docking (RVD) for unmanned spacecraft, intended for the first Japanese RVD system and the associated basic ideas on the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) System in the relative/final approach and docking phase are outlined. Special emphasis is put on those aspects such as safety, standardized operation, and hierarchical and modular design of both Flight Management System (FMS) and Flight Control System (FCS). Some of the ideas, including a simultaneous standardization of flight path and operational modes, hierarchical control of GNC functions, and a simplified formulation of relative GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation filter, are discussed. Remarks on the present status of the study are included.
