The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, employing the technology assessment that resulted from the Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking Conference held at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center on 15-16 Aug. 1990 as the basis undertook a literature search and contacts with major national and international aerospace companies to perform an assessment of the existing technologies and those that are needed to accomplish supervised autonomous rendezvous and docking in space. The following five issues are covered: (1) lessons learned; (2) technology assessment for navigation and guidance sensors for Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking (AR&D); (3) technology assessment of Guidance, Navigation and Controls (GN&C), techniques for rendezvous and docking; (4) docking mechanisms; and (5) space and ground operations.
