A low Earth orbit (LEO) mission was used to analyze operational modes associated with the Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) process between two unmanned spacecraft. The mission is defined in its nominal rundown as well as with contingency cases, in terms of the chaser's on-board initiated operations and possible involvement of ground control. The operational modes and their mechanization aboard are presented; associated software structuring and data processing requirements are established.
