Abstract:Small bodies have the characteristics of noncooperative, irregular gravity, and complex terrain on the surface, which cause difficulties in successful landing for conventional landers. In this paper, a multinode flexible lander is put forward to address the problem. The dynamics of this new lander are constructed based on the port-Hamilton framework. The trajectory-tracking formation controller for the lander is designed in a passive way. The proposed dynamics and controller are further validated through numer… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
