The developmental Scanning Laser Radar was designed primarily for future rendezvous and docking applications. The multiple target capability is uniquely used here to determine the relative attitude of a passive cooperative target vehicle so that the docking axes of the two spacecraft can be properly oriented. For docking maneuvers, the laser radar measures the line-of-sight range and angles to four separate reflectors located on the target vehicle. This range and angle information is then used to calculate the relative pitch, yaw and roll angles between the docking axes of the respective vehicles. Using this measurement technique, the attitude can be determined to better than one degree. The results of an example calculation are included to illustrate the technique.
