NASA has initiated a program to demonstrate a Satellite Servicer System prototype in a series of flight tests with the Space Shuttle. When the commitment to an operational system has been demonstrated, it is anticipated that a variety of missions will develop that can productively use the servicing capability. Rendezvous and proximity operations contain key enabling technologies needed for an effective operational system. Guidance, navigation and control hardware and operational techniques must be integrated into the program. Supporting sensor technology may limit or enhance the capability of the system depending on its readiness. Requirements for docking the spacecraft in the system concept development and technology requirements are reviewed. Examples of the initial assessment of technology readiness and applications opportunities are discussed. The degree of autonomy is of particular interest.
