The Video Guidance Sensor was flown on STS-87 in November of 1997 and is the key element of an automatic rendezvous and docking program under development by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The system used laser illumination of a passive target in the field of view of an on-board camera and processed the video image to determine the relative position and attitude between the target and the sensor. Comparisons of mission results with theoretical models are discussed.
