Guidance method for non-cooperative approach

摘要

The present disclosure includes a guidance method for a chaser (spacecraft) to approach a non-cooperation object such as space debris in outer space. This guidance method is executed, for example, in a chaser provided with a camera and an on-board computer, and in the outer space, an observation phase for acquiring a plurality of images including a target that is a non-cooperation target, and a plurality of acquired images A trajectory estimation phase for estimating the trajectory of the target based on the coordinate position in the observed image of the target shown above, and a maneuver execution phase for executing the maneuver method determined based on the estimated trajectory are included.
