Adaptive Nonlinear Huber--Based Navigation For Rendezvous in Elliptical Orbit

Adaptive control and orbit determination for elliptical rendezvous

“…First, for the out-of-plane subsystem (13), with the control law (17) and parameter estimation law (15), the closed loop system of O y -axis can be written aṡ…”

“…Moreover, in most previous work about elliptical rendezvous, the target orbital elements are considered as priori knowledge and the chaser spacecraft is able to receive real-time orbital information by communication with the target spacecraft or ground stations. In this way, the authors in [12,13,14,15] design feedback controllers to directly compensate the terms of the relative motion equations with time-varying parameters by using the known orbital information. For some non-cooperative targets, such as damaged spacecraft, space debris, and asteroid, the accurate relative motion of the space rendezvous is usually difficult to obtain since the orbital information of the target orbit is unknown.…”

Trajectory Control of Rendezvous with Maneuver Target Spacecraft

“…For the most of the studies, the target spacecraft doesn't maneuver by firing thrusters during the rendezvous [1][2][3][4][5]. Using the linearized Tschauner-Hempel equations, spacecraft rendezvous with target spacecraft in an arbitrary elliptical orbit was analyzed [1].…”

“…The disturbance forces on the chaser and target spacecraft and the thrust forces on the chaser spacecraft are not considered in the analysis in [1]. The six-degree-of-freedom elliptical orbit rendezvous and docking problem were investigated using an adaptive discrete-time robust nonlinear filtering technique [2]. However, the disturbance and thrust forces on the target spacecraft are neglected in the relative motion dynamics in [2].…”
