In this thesis, two fundamental steps of the orbital rendezvous are studied: the relative navigation and the minimum-fuel guidance. The first part is devoted to the modeling of spacecraft relative motion under linear assumptions. A comprehensive bibliography review and a novel method of relative motion model design are given in this part as well as a mapping between the various state space variables forms. These developments are undertaken in order to provide reliable and accurate navigation tools in the presence of orbital perturbations. The guidance is considered in the second part through the development of several algorithms for solving the fixed-time rendezvous problem. Each algorithm is developed using different theoretical tools such...
