A strategy for trajectory design, motion camouflage, is introduced within the context of orbital relative motion. At first the equations of orbital motion for this approach are developed. The control strategy is then implemented using both an impulsive and continuous approach. A number of parameters are then optimized to minimize the fuel mass. The simulation results reveal that the predator successfully...
The issue of satellite operations in close proximity to a reference satellite is of interest for both civilian and military applications. One such operation is fast fly around formation in a time period less than the orbital period of the reference satellite. A control law based on continuous low thrust is derived in this paper to realize fast fly around space circle formation on circular orbit. The...
Impacting target body directly is a new method to explore the small bodies such as the comets and the asteroids, and which was carried out by NASApsilaS Deep Impact mission. In this paper, an autonomous end game guidance law of impacting asteroids is discussed. Due to the pulsed thrust of spacecraft actuator, a pulsed guidance law is established based on the zero-effort-miss steering. Then, in order...
