Candidate U.S. space station tracking subsystem sensors were identified and evaluated by Hughes (under TRW subcontract E56128RG5S) on the preliminary design phase of the Space Station program. The sensors investigated included radars, laser based sensors, Global Positioning System receivers, passive electro-optical sensors, and video tracking systems. Both individual sensors and complements of sensors were evaluated for their ability to support assumed vehicular operations in the vicinity of the station. Two of these sensors - the passive electro-optical and video tracking sensors - are described here. Analyses and dynamic performance simulations indicate that each can meet the postulated performance requirements.
