Published in 2020 at "Acta Astronautica"

DOI: 10.1016/j.actaastro.2019.11.026

Abstract: Abstract This work presents a closed-loop guidance algorithm for six-degrees of freedom spacecraft rendezvous with a passive target flying in an eccentric orbit. The main assumption is that the chaser vehicle has an attitude control… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Advances in Space Research"

DOI: 10.1016/j.asr.2020.03.009

Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a propellantless spacecraft rendezvous method by using the optimal combination of aerodynamic force and Lorentz force. Aerodynamic force is provided by the rotations of the plates attached to the spacecraft, and… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "IFAC-PapersOnLine"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ifacol.2018.07.101

Abstract: Abstract We study the problem of spacecraft rendezvous and docking, specifically the tradeoff between safety and efficiency. The safety component in this problem is to stay within a line-of-sight cone and reach the target at… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Systems Science"

DOI: 10.1080/00207721.2024.2317349

Abstract: This paper explores the application of a fully actuated system (FAS) approach to a spacecraft rendezvous system with actuator saturation. A FAS model for the spacecraft rendezvous system is developed, followed by the design of… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology"

DOI: 10.1109/tcst.2022.3216077

Abstract: We develop a spacecraft rendezvous policy that ensures safe, collision-free trajectories under various thrust failure scenarios. We use backward reachable sets (RSs) to characterize the unsafe region where, if a failure occurs, a collision between… read more here.
