A Survey of Teleoperator Rendezvous and Docking Technology

Teleoperator Rendezvous and Docking(RVD) technology is a combination of teleoperator technology and RVD technology.It can be used as a backup approach of the automatic RVD system of the unmanned spacecraft of the space station,and it can also be used in RVD of uncooperative space targets.A summary of the ISS’s RVD in recent years is presented,the concept of teleoperator RVD is introduced,and the key technologies of teleoperator RVD,such as control and security techniologies,are analyzed in details.The conclusion of the survey is that we should dedicate our efforts to the research of teleoperator RVD technologies,which have great value in application.
