Proximity operations

Proximity operations involve precisely maneuvering spacecraft near each other, such as during satellite servicing, docking, or parking in orbit. These operations require careful planning and control to maintain safe distances, avoid collisions, and achieve specific objectives. They rely on advanced navigation, sensors, and thrusters to make fine adjustments in the microgravity environment of space. Essentially, proximity operations are like delicate choreography for vehicles floating close together, ensuring safety and accuracy while performing complex tasks in orbit.
