<p>A device which makes possible the bringing nearer and bringing together of two objects, particularly space vehicles, is described. The object is to determine their relative distance, azimuth angle, elevation angle and relative attitude angles, i.e. heading, roll and pitch angles. The device comprises a transmitter (2) located on one object, for emitting optical radiation, and a receiver (4) for receiving this radiation to the extent it is reflected by a reflector on the second object. The reflector comprises a number of reflector elements (6) with a first, rather limited extension across the incoming radiation. The device is primarily characterized in that the reflector comprises a spherical convex mirror (7) with a second rather great extension across the incoming radiation.</p> |
