Consider the problem of spacecraft rendezvous, e.g., the return of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) to the Command Module (aka Command and Service Module or CSM) in orbit about the moon for the Apollo mission (see Fig. 6.1). Or consider the situation in which NASA’s Space Shuttle (crewed), the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV, robotic), Russian Soyuz (crewed) or Progress (robotic), or Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (robotic) vehicle performs a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station (ISS). For example, on March 27, 2008, the Jules Verne ATV conducted maneuvers “to guide the ship to an ‘interface point’ 24 miles behind and three miles below the station.” Later, the ATV performed a rendezvous and docking with the ISS.
