“…With regard to the type of rendezvousing between the SS and the target, it should be noted that the cooperative rendezvous maneuvers need less fuel in comparison with the non-cooperative ones, 23,24,31,33 but the designation of the cooperative rendezvous maneuvers is more difficult rather than the non-cooperative maneuvers. Furthermore, in the cooperative maneuvers the target satellite should leave the work place to rendezvous with the SS at the servicing point, and after receiving the services, it comes back to the work place in order to perform its duties.…”

Nowadays on-orbit servicing operations such as satellite refuelling, debris removal and visual inspection are considered as the most important issues in the space missions. Mission planning has a key role on the designation of such missions and it is strongly dependent on the required fuel. In this study, a new approach is proposed for the designing of the on-orbit operations with considering the parking orbit elements and location of the servicing satellites. The proposed method improves the previous mission planning process of the multiple servicing satellites in the terms of the reduction in the mission fuel consumption. Furthermore, a special rendezvous maneuver is considered for meeting the servicing satellites and the targets. Also, the transfer orbits are obtained through Lambert targeting. The optimisation of the problem is carried out by particle swarm optimisation algorithm and Taguchi technique is employed for the robust design of the control parameters of the optimisation algorithm. The results reveal that the proposed approach is an efficient way in the reduction of the fuel consumption in the on-orbit servicing missions rather than the conventional methods.

On-orbit refueling plays a key role in extending the lifespan of space assets. Geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) satellites are of high strategic and commercial value. The optimal scheduling for geosynchronous Earth orbit on-orbit refueling mission is studied in this paper, considering bi-objective function. Assuming that all space assets are originally located on the geosynchronous Earth orbit belt and noncoplanar, this paper aims at allocating the targets to the servicing spacecrafts, optimizing the rendezvous sequences and transfer trajectories of the servicing spacecrafts as well as their initial orbital location, dry mass, and fuel mass. Taking orbital transfer fuel cost and transfer time as the objective functions, a mathematical optimization model is proposed, as well as the solution method. Numerical simulations of various configurations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the model and solution method. It can be concluded from the simulations that the optimal initial position of the servicing spacecraft prefers the area where the targets are concentrated; the servicing spacecraft initial orbital parameters have significant influences on the mission planning results; and it is fuel-saving and time-saving to employ more servicing spacecraft for on-orbit refueling mission and to optimize the initial location of the servicing spacecrafts.
