I want to aim for a spot x meters behind or below an object in space.
How would you guys recommend doing such a thing?
Currently I use a procedure that involves IMFD and Precession MFD, but I fear it is not at all practical when aiming for large offsets.
So I am curious at how others would try and do this. See if there are other ways, mfds that can do it. The more options the better I say.
And as a disclaimer, I am seeking this information so to fly Shuttle Fleet on a rendezvous that is as close to the book as possible. My current procedure and knowledge of Precession and IMFD do not seem to be enough as it requires an unhealthy amount of RCS.
