Focusing on the long-distance rapid cooperative rendezvous of two spacecraft under finite continuous thrust, this paper proposes a practical strategy for space operation using multiple specific-direction thrusts. Based on the orbital dynamic theory and Pontryagin’s maximum principle, the dynamic equations and optimal control equations for radial, circumferential, and normal thrust are determined. The optimization method is a hybrid algorithm. The initial costate variables for the fuel-optimal rapid cooperative rendezvous problem are obtained using quantum particle swarm optimization and subsequently set as the initial values in the sequence quadratic programming to search for the exact convergent solution. The elliptical and near-circular mission orbital rendezvous for spacecraft with multiple specific-direction thrusts are simulated and optimized. Numerical examples verifying the proposed method are provided. The results facilitate easier realization of rapid spacecraft maneuvering under continuous thrust conditions.

“…They assumed that the required time for the rendezvous maneuver is constant. Far distance cooperative rendezvous maneuver was studied by Feng et al 28,29 Also, the cooperative rendezvous maneuver in the refuelling missions has been investigated in literature. [30][31][32][33] Also, some works [34][35][36] investigated the control of the cooperative rendezvous problems.…”

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.
