THE field of trajectory optimization has a rich history dating back to 1950s. Traditionally,
these problems are solved by direct and indirect methods with their advantages and …

The problem of reorienting a rigid spacecraft as fast as possible within the physical limits of
actuators and sensors is investigated. In particular, a nonlinear feedback control logic that …

Abstract Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), sensing and computing technologies
have led to the development of new promising concept for the safe and efficient operation of …

The backstep** control method provides useful control logic, especially for a cascaded
system. Because spacecraft dynamics and kinematics form a cascaded system, the …

Autonomous navigation (AN) and manoeuvring are increasingly important in distributed
satellite systems (DSS) in order to avoid potential collisions with space debris and other …

This manuscript explores the applications of deterministic artificial intelligence (DAI) in a
space environment in response to unknown sensor noise and sudden changes in craft …

A method requiring low-computational overhead is presented which generates low-torque
reference motions between arbitrary orientations for a spin-stabilized spacecraft. The initial …

This dissertation studies the dynamics and optimal control of rigid bodies from two
complementary perspectives, by providing theoretical analyses that respect the fundamental …

The challenging problem of controlling the attitude of satellites subject to actuator failures
has been the subject of increased attention in recent years. The problem of controlling the …
