Abstract:
During the 1980s the Soviets deployed a stream of increasingly sophisticated equipment for remote ground control of spacecraft. Originally applied to unmanned Progress supply craft, Sat class space tugs and test vehicles such as the unmanned Soyuz TM)I, as in the 1987 situation shown in fig. 1, this technique has now been developed to the point where it is being used to control both the flight envelope of the Mir/Kvant Space complex and its internal equipment.
