Before the use of autonomous rendezvous will be allowed as a substitute for man-in-the-loop control, adequate safety and mission performance will have to be guaranteed. Most autopilots for autonomous rendezvous of spacecraft assume constant thrust reaction control system (RCS) thrusters. This assumption implies either true constant thrust RCS thrusters or thrusters whose thrust levels vary very slowly. The ongoing work described in this presentation examines the autonomous rendezvous problem when varying thrust RCS thrusters are inherent in the system equations of motion.
