Generally, obtaining all the state quantities of 6 degrees of freedom leads to able to do exact guidance of spacecraft to the target. Actually the obtainable information could be limited by the conditions which spacecraft has and the other external conditions. In this study, navigation and guidance are discussed based on only range information. In general, the position of the object cannot be identified based on only range information. Therefore the position is estimated increasing information obtained by giving the known input Delta-v. And this paper discusses guidance based on only range information.
