Autonomous rendezvous and docking has been dlefined as one of the primary goals in today's space technology.Autonomous operation of an unmanned space vehicle in a real world environment poses a series of problems.The kno,wledge about the environment is in general incomplete, uncertain and approximate.Perceptually acquired information is not precise, sensor's noise introduces uncertainty and imprecision, sensor's limited range and visibility introduces incompleteness.in this study, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm (GA) have been applied to this problem in order to perform better in the case of all these problems.Fuzzy and GA combination imitates the role of human in the decision process.
