autonomous?
"Stable and high-rate data transfer is critical to the real-time video monitoring required for docking." (Referring to autonomous missions)
If the mission is autonomous, why would 2-way video be needed? Wouldn't one craft remain static while the docking craft undergoes maneuvering? If so, you'd just need appropriate visual targets on the "non maneuvering" craft (plus maybe a longer range RF beacon) and appropriate controllers on the maneuvering craft.
I know we have some commentards around that understand orbital mechanics pretty well.. looking forward to understanding.
