This article deals with the situation of a space debris or not working satellite in an unidentified pose with respect to the master satellite. Feature based monocular pose estimation vision system was presented. The results of numerical simulation were described. The results of implementation and testing of simulation intended for vision-based navigation applications such as rendezvous of satellites and formation flying is shown. In this document markerless local features based navigation system has been studied. The proposed vision navigation system satellites are able to determine the position and orientation of a target in relation to the coordinate system of the camera. It relates from the time when the satellite is visible as a small object until docking with the chaser. A modified algorithm soft Position Iterations was used to estimate the pose of the target. Visual navigation system uses a single camera. The impact of changes in illumination of the object was analysed. In order to reproduce the space conditions the laboratory stand was built. The developed method was tested experimentally for different scenarios approach satellites to each other. Comparing the ground truth position and orientation and the results obtained with the aim of vision navigation system it is worth nothing to observe accuracy of the developed method. Achieved satisfactory performance of the algorithm.
