Continuous-thrust Rendezvous

Continuous-Thrust Rendezvous is a spacecraft rendezvous strategy, within the domain of proximity operations, that employs uninterrupted low-thrust propulsion to achieve precise relative motion and docking, distinguishing it from impulsive or discrete-thrust approaches by maintaining continuous control authority and enabling smoother trajectory convergence.
