Analyses presented demonstrate feasibility of 3 techniques for use in rendezvous maneuver; continuous-limited-variable thrust rendezvous closure method is investigated as nonlinear modification of continuous variable thrust method and pulsed-thrust rendezvous closure method utilizing constant width pulses; analytic approach is used to establish approximate propulsion requirements for rendezvous docking maneuver.
