Orbital Docking Guide - Sptport Project

Docking Fundamentals

Phase Alignment

Achieve perfect orbital phase matching with mathematical precision.

Rendezvous Maneuvers

Execute Hohmann transfer and bi-elliptic orbits for optimal fuel use.

Soft Contact

Master the final approach with laser guidance and soft clamp procedures.

Docking Procedure Steps

1

Establish Communication

Contact port authorities using designated frequencies. Confirm berth availability and receive approach corridor parameters.


                                        [PORT]: Approach Clear? [SIGNAL STRENGTH 98%]

2

Initialize Thrusters

Pre-ignite RCS thrusters and execute attitude adjustments to align with docking axis.

3

Final Approach

Follow telemetry guidance to maintain -0.5m/s closing velocity while verifying final alignment.


                                        CLOSING VELOCITY: -0.5M/S - ALIGNMENT 0.02 DEGREES
