Spacecraft Rendezvous

Spacecraft Rendezvous is an orbital maneuver sequence in which an active spacecraft adjusts its trajectory and velocity to match the orbit and relative motion of a target spacecraft so as to achieve controlled close-proximity positioning, typically as a prerequisite for docking or other cooperative operations.
