The report covers manual control of rendezvous and docking (RVD) of two spacecraft in low earth orbit by a 'remote' human operator. Experimental evidence has shown that control performance degradation for large transmission delays (between spacecraft and operations control centre) can be substantially improved by the introduction of predictor displays. An initial Optimal Control Model (OCM) analysis of RVD translational and rotational perturbation control has been performed, with emphasis placed on the predictive capabilities of the combined Kalman estimator/optimal predictor with respect to control performance, for a range of time delays, motor noise levels and tracking axes.
