This study presents a tracking control strategy for spacecraft proximity operations subjected to kinematic couplings, input saturation, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances. First, a coupled six degrees of freedom dynamics is modeled to depict the relative motion between the pursuer and target spacecrafts. To address the input saturation problem, a dead‐zone operator‐based model is introduced...
