In this paper, we investigate the application of model predictive control (MPC) strategy for controlling a chaser spacecraft to dock with a tumbling target in space. The CW-based model is used to predict the proximity trajectory, while a receding prediction horizon is employed to complete the specific docking manipulation in finite time, and a 2-norm cost index about control input is used to minimize...
Flying robots have a crucial role in future on-orbit servicing and operation tasks. Fast circumnavigation is an enabling technology for future flying robots on-orbit servicing and operations. In this paper a state transition matrix is introduced, which could be applied to the cases of a target satellite in circular orbit or in elliptical orbit. The state transition matrix is further used to develop...
