An algorithm is developed which effects unmanned docking of two space vehicles. The docking is controlled by an onboard computer and sensor. Control laws are expressed in two phase-plane trajectories such that modest computer load results. Simulation reveals time-fuel trades and effects of orbit, noise, etc.
