This study was instituted to assist NASA and MSFC in the development of ground and flight options to demonstrate the capability of Automated Rendezvous and Capture (AR&C). Study goals placed emphasis on low cost approaches and the need to be responsive to newly developing programs and studies such as Space Station Freedom and the Cargo Transfer Vehicle. This study provides an assessment of vehicle options and AR&C requirements to assist in the meaningful development of an AR&C capability. This report documents study activities performed at Applied Research, Inc. (ARI) between 1 Apr. 1992 and May 1993.
