A Hohmann transfer is executed to move the Orbiter towards the MAV, from a point 20 km behind the target and in V-bar (see Figure 4-110). For the intermediate rendezvous, a trade-off was mad between several substrategies: • To place the MAV above and ahead drifts backwards towards the target • To place the MAV below and behind drifts in front of the target • To place the MAV below and ahead drifts the MAV in from of the orbiter Finally, the last substrategy was selected: To place the MAV below and ahead. It is a quick transfer based on Shuttle guidance to ISS docking port that has very good manual backup features. After the Hohmann manoeuvre, a tangential transfer in V-bar is executed to place the chaser 1 km ahead of the target maintaining it still in V-bar. At that point a station keeping is commanded and a series of test start. These hold points will allow the astronauts to verify the authorisation to proceed for the next phase. The hold point is expensive in terms of fuel. It accounts for for the following tasks: • Checking out subsystems. • Occurrence for the sub-solar angle: Earth-orbiter-Sun angle more than 5 degrees. • Communication with Earth for the ATPs (Authorisation to Proceed) to the next point.
