Docking was made autonomously(自主地) by the spacecraft at 10:16 am. The current crew(工作人员) of the ISS welcomed the two astronauts-Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. They rang the station's bell three times to signal their arrival. Cheers could be heard coming from the station at the ...
This image of the International Space Station and the docked space shuttle Endeavour, flying at an altitude of approximately 350 km, was taken by Expedition 27 crew member Paolo Nespoli from the Soyuz TMA-20 following its undocking on May 24, 2011. (Image credit: ESA/NASA) This space ...
Consider the problem of spacecraft rendezvous, e.g., the return of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) to the Command Module (aka Command and Service Module or CSM) in orbit about the moon for the Apollo mission (see Fig. 6.1). Or consider the situation in which NASA’s Space Shuttle (...

Finally, this paper will show how knowledge of the docking offset can be used to speed up attitude control handovers from Shuttle to ISS momentum management. By taking into account the docking offset, Shuttle can be commanded to hold a more precise attitude which better agrees with the ISS ...
