Study of satellite rendezvous terminal guidance techniques by means of phase plane analysis and numerical examples; methods of rendezvous differ in type of propulsion used, e.g., on-off or continuous thrusting; mathematical derivation of guidance philosophy commensurate with both propulsion capability and initial condition variations is shown and relationship between throttling capability and launch timing accuracy examined; comparison between propellant requirements for different rendezvous guidance systems.
