Description:
Three studies were completed establishing sensor performance, technology status, and conceptual design requirements for rendezvous stationkeeping, and docking. A consideration of design constraints and the availale technology has led to the conclusion that the sensor should be a CW optical radar employing a semiconductor-laser transmitter and an image-dissector receiver. The performance obtainable for a representative sensor was compared to specifications generated during the study and it was found that this type of sensor can meet the needs of future Earth-orbital operations.
