A preliminary investigation was carried out for a translational control system concept for near-target maneuvers during rendezvous. The maneuvers are applicable to such missions as docking, inspection, and the Air Force Remote Maneuvering Unit. The concept consists of: (1) a small constant thrust acceleration directed at the target by the maneuvering vehicle, (2) a phase-plane CRT representation of radar range and range rate with superimposed overlay contours, and (3) a means for determining the appropriate scale factors for the phaseplane display in the general case. Translation is effected by suitable combinations of thrusting and non-thrusting periods. A pilot task description is given for a typical range change maneuver. (Author)
