Abstract: First several typical space rendezvous strategies which have been carried out are introduced. Then by analyzing and reviewing two or threeday rendezvous profile and four-orbit short rendezvous profile, the main technical problems in short rendezvous are discussed. According to th- development requirement of Chinese space rendezvous technology, a new short rendezvous profile for autonomous spacecraft is proposed. In this profile, the allowable range of phase angle between chasing spacecraft and target spacecraft is enlarged compared to that of the existing four-orbit short rendezvous profile, however the fuel consumption is almost unchanged. The profile is of great reference value in the field of engineering.

Key words: space rendezvous, short rendezvous mission, autonomous
