空间交会对接是人类探索、开发、利用太空的一项极其重要的关键技术, 2011年11月、2012年6月我国先后圆满完成了神舟八号、神舟九号和天宫一号的空间交会接任务.首先对交会对接制导、导航与控制技术进行简单的概述,然后给出交会对接精确控制问题的描述,在此基础上重点介绍基于特征模型的智能自适应控制方法在我国交会对接中的应用情况,最后探讨未来交会对接控制中的新问题及可能的发展方向.

Rendezvous and docking is a key technology for human beings to ex-plore and use space. In November, 2011 and June, 2012, our country successfully achieved the rendezvous and docking between Shenzhou spacecraft 8, 9 and Tiangong 1, respectively. This paper first briefly states the Guidance,  avigation and Control (GNC) technologies for rendezvous and docking. Then, we demonstrate the problem of the accurate control of rendezous and docking. Our  major emphasis is on the application of the intelligent adaptive control method based on characteristic model in or rendezous and docking. Finally, we discuss the new problems and possible developing directions of the future rendezvous and docking control.
