Optimization of the mass and power consumption of laser ranging systems to control the rendezvous and docking spacecraft

The authors solved the problem of optimization of power consumption and the mass of the onboard laser ranging systems (LRS) to control the rendezvous and docking spacecraft beyond Earth orbit, on the criteria of the mass the receiver objective and the power consumed by laser sources, as they were considered as solid-state diode-pumped lasers and optical parametric oscillator on the basis of a neodymium laser with diode pumping, which allowed to determine of total power consumption and weight of the LRS. As a result, with using of Pareto sets, found the values of weight and power consumption, which meet the requirements to the analogue of LRS, specified in literature.
