It includes information on the Sponsors and organizers workshop objectives workshop information tentative agenda--including information on individual sessions maps and registration form. This preliminary workshop information provides insight into the state of knowledge and the issues associated with rendezvous and proximity operations in the mid-1980s. A space rendezvous is a set of orbital maneuvers during which two spacecraft one of which is often a space station arrive at the same orbit and approach to a very close distance e.g. within visual contact. Rendezvous requires a precise match of the orbital velocities and position vectors of the two spacecraft allowing them to remain at a constant distance through orbital station-keeping. Rendezvous may or may not be followed by docking or berthing procedures which bring the spacecraft into physical contact and create a link between them. The same rendezvous technique can be used for spacecraft "landing" on natural objects with a weak gravitational field e.g. landing on one of the Martian moons would require the same matching of orbital velocities followed by a "descent" that shares some similarities with docking. Rendezvous was first successfully accomplished by US astronaut Wally Schirra on December 15 1965. Schirra maneuvered the Gemini 6 spacecraft within 1 foot 30 cm of its sister craft Gemini 7. The spacecraft were not equipped to dock with each other but maintained station-keeping for more than 20 minutes. The first docking of two spacecraft was achieved on March 16 1966 when Gemini 8 under the command of Neil Armstrong rendezvoused and docked with an uncrewed Agena Target Vehicle. Gemini 6 was to have been the first docking mission but had to be canceled when that mission's Agena vehicle was destroyed during launch. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Lyndon B.
