Problem of how to bring 2 space vehicles close together in outer space by teleguidance from terrestrial station; one of vehicles is already in orbit motion around earth, so that only second vehicle, launched later, has to be guided; examination of suitable powered flight program and determination of required thrust components and steering moments as functions of time; fundamental teleguidance and telesupervision equipment is advanced, embracing arrangement to visualize motion of vehicles by light dots in glass smoke screen box; ultimate combination of 2 vehicles to one space ship is carried out by crew in second vehicle.
