The results of studies and software development activities are summarized. Technical reports and memoranda are presented in a graphical history of contract activities and the expenditure of engineering manhours. Major topics and activities are: (1) flight phase standardization; (2) flight profile standardization; (3) maneuver targeting for solid rocket motors; (4) relative motion and RCS (Reaction Control System) jet flowfield plotting programs; (5) on-orbit aerodynamic models; (6) terminal approach strategy for payload retrieval/docking; (7) proximity navigation; and (8) desk-top flight simulator for proximity operations. A list of recommendations is also presented.
