The aim of this research paper is to propose a framework to model, simulate and control the motion of a small spacecraft in the proximity of a space station. In particular, rendezvous in the presence of physical obstacles is tackled by a virtual potentia...

In recent years, the interest in proximity operations to uncooperative and non-collaborative objects has been growing and and demanding for specific technology advances to tackle these challenging cases of in-orbit servicing and removal missions. Indeed,...

This paper presents new techniques for the trajectory design and control of nonlinear dynamical systems. The technique uses a convex polytope to bound the range of the nonlinear function and associates with each vertex an auxiliary linear system. Provide...

Autonomous rendezvous and docking (RVD) fuel optimization with field-of-view and obstacle avoidance constraints is a nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem, making it computationally intensive for onboard computation on CubeSats. This paper propose...

The novel contribution in this manuscript is an expansion of the current state-of-the-art in the geometric installation of control moment gyroscopes beyond the benchmark symmetric skewed arrays and the four asymmetric arrays presented in recent literatur...

The guidance and control problem of spacecraft approaching an asteroid using constant continuous thrust is studied in this work. The range of interest is from hundreds of kilometers to several kilometers, in which relative measurements of much higher acc...

The development of autonomous guidance control and navigation systems for spacecraft would greatly benefit applications such as debris removals or on-orbit servicing, where human intervention is not practical. Within this context, inspired by Autonomous ...

This study considers the problem of injecting a spacecraft into an elliptic, repeating-ground-track orbit about Mars, starting from a 4-sol highly elliptical orbit, which is a typical Martian capture orbit, entered at the end of the interplanetary transf...

In this study, differential game theory was applied to propose two guidance laws of a pursuer in an orbit pursuit?evasion?defense game. One was a conservative guidance law of maneuvering to absolute safety before pursuing the evader, and the other was a ...

In this paper, the problem of autonomous optimal absolute orbit keeping for a satellite mission in Low Earth Orbit using electric propulsion is considered. The main peculiarity of the approach is to support small satellite missions in which the platform ...

The accelerating deployment of spacecraft in orbit has generated interest in on-orbit servicing (OOS), inspection of spacecraft, and active debris removal (ADR). Such missions require precise rendezvous and proximity operations in the vicinity of non-coo...

Deep space missions are recently gaining increasing interest from space agencies and industry, their maximum exponent being the establishment of a permanent station in cis-lunar orbit within this decade. To that end, autonomous rendezvous and docking in ...

Spacecraft systems collect health-related data continuously, which can give an indication of the systems? health status. While they rarely occur, the repercussions of such system anomalies, faults, or failures can be severe, safety-critical and costly. T...
