This paper describes a novel framework to determine the relative pose and range of a solid-of-revolution-shaped spacecraft from a single image without any artificial beacons. The translation and the symmetry axis of the spacecraft can be estimated from the imaged cross sections of the spacecraft body. Then the pose and range of the spacecraft are fully determined by means of the images of its solar panels and asymmetric feature. Our method has been validated by both synthetic and real images.
