An overview of the Engineering Test Satellite-7 (ETS-7) conceptual study is presented. The Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) experiments will be conducted to verify equipment technologies for navigation, guidance, control algorism, and sensors and to conduct remote control technology experiment using on-orbit image information during the time period from the RVD experiment target separation to its berthing back to the satellite by Global Positioning System (GPS) correlated navigation, and approach by the rendezvous radar and proximity sensors. The space Robot (RBT) experiments will be conducted on the coordinated experiment between the robotic arm control and satellite body attitude control systems, remote control experiment from the earth using on orbit image information with time delay, and on-orbit operation technology using the task board and simulated Orbital Replacement Unit (ORU). An operation system to utilize the intersatellite data relay function of the Communications and Broadcasting Engineering Test Satellite (COMETS) will be employed. Review was conducted on satellites to satisfy RVD requirements and enable piggy back launch with the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). The satellite bus system will be constructed by fundamentally utilizing the technologies applied to the Engineering Test Satellite-6 (ETS-6) and the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS). Prospects of realizing operation systems, including experimental window and remote control operation by images were obtained.
