FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method involves scanning space by turning an active spacecraft rigidly fitted with a laser locator on a pitch or yaw channel until a passive spacecraft is detected. The beam width of the probing radiation of the laser locator in the scanning direction is minimal, and in the perpendicular direction, its divergence angle is equal to the angular dimension of the field of view. The passive spacecraft is detected in the instantaneous field of view of a multi-element receiver of the radiation of the laser locator. This field coincides with the beam pattern of the laser locator.
EFFECT: high reliability by excluding optical and mechanical scanning using moving components.
