This paper presents a strategy and case studies of spacecraft relative motion guidance and
control based on the application of linear quadratic model predictive control (MPC) with …

Traditionally, rendezvous and proximity maneuvers have been performed using open‐loop
maneuver planning techniques and ad hoc error corrections. In this paper, a Model …

SPACECRAFT rendezvous and docking (RVD) is a key technol-ogy required for on-orbit
servicing and space debris removal missions. For the successful execution of such close …

This paper presents an obstacle avoidance method for spacecraft relative motion control. In
this approach, a connectivity graph is constructed for a set of relative frame points, which …

This article investigates the autonomous spacecraft rendezvous and docking problem in the
presence of space obstacle, path constraints, and thrust limitation constraint. By introducing …

This paper further develops an approach for spacecraft relative motion control based on the
application of linear quadratic Model Predictive Control (MPC) with dynamically …

The paper describes two approaches to improving on-board robustness of spacecraft
relative motion guidance and control. The first approach is based on Model Predictive …

The cylindrical orthogonal collision region (COCR) is introduced for the approximate
satisfaction of spherical, three-dimensional avoidance constraints (S3ACs) used in …

This Memorandum for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is open analysis of the major
outcomes and implications emerging from the United States Army War College s 25th …

The paper considers the application of reference governors to linear discrete-time systems
with constraints on state and output variables given by functional inequalities. Properties …
