Space shuttle docking with ISS done without radar
Discovery reached the international space station at 17 500 mph after Commander Brian Duffy completed a radarless rendezvous using star tracking and handheld lasers. The docking was smooth despite antenna and TV link failures, with four spacewalks planned to install new station hardware. NASA plans four months for Bill Shepherd and crew aboard a later Russian mission.
