The rendezvous/docking technology between spacecraft is a crucial aspect of performing orbital servicing missions. This paper proposes the design process for the thrust control system, followed by the simulation of the docking control system. The thrust control system could be applied to various space missions such as satellite repair, fuel replenishment, space debris removal, and space tourism.
