Abstract: Several typical thruster configurations of spacecrafts for rendezvous and docking task are introduced. Advantages and disadvantages of these thruster configurations are analyzed through comparison. Accordingly, some useful conclusions for the thruster configuration designs are obtained. In addition, some infectors that should be considered when designing a thruster configuration for rendezvous and docking task are also proposed.

Key words: thruster, configuration, rendezvous and docking
