Of course you have to know how to solve a rendezvous problem - which involved computing suitable planar and phasing launch windows, phasing orbits, nulling relative inclination in J3 gravity, operating the Lambert solver in the Shuttle avionics and some knowledge about proximity ops.

So for everyone who's been asking the question when we can finally do a full rendezvous - the answer is: Now. This works with an accuracy of < few hundred meters and < 2-3 m/s, which is to say within numbers that can be corrected in the final approach phase with relative ease. The viable solution is to let the orbiting object move on an analytical orbit corrected for the leading J3 gravity effects, compute a rendezvous solution to that and switch to an explicit simulation of full orbital dynamics only when the space station is close. (we've only provided a mockup of ISS being initialized right ahead of the spacecraft for docking practice). This has been one major missing ingredient in the simulation so far. I'm happy to announce the fact that despite the restriction that we can only run one FDM, it is now possible to use the Shuttle to fly to ISS from launch to docking.
