摘要：

On 7 July 1998, Engineering Test Satellite-VII (ETS-VII) successfully performed the first autonomous rendezvous docking (RVD) between uninhabited spacecraft ever. RVD technology is essential for future space activities, such as logistic support for the International Space Station. The National Space Development Agency of Japan developed ETS-VII to demonstrate autonomous RVD technologies. ETS-VII carried two RVD experiment flights successfully in 1998. We introduce the autonomous RVD system of ETS-VII and show the results and evaluations of two RVD experiment flights. We realized autonomous uninhabited RVD, and its performance was better than required.
