Development of ETS-VII RVD system - Preliminary design and EM development phase-

摘要

The Japanese Engineering Test Satellite VII (ETS-VII) project aiming the demonstrated the unmanned autonomous RendezVous Docking (RVD) system was started in 1990. The mission scenario of ETS-VII RVD system is based on the logistic support to space station by unmanned spacecraft such as HOPE (H-II Orbiting PlanE). Accordingly, the autonomous and safe RVD (2Fail Safe (2FS) is defined as collision free for 2Fails of on-board system) are required.
