In this paper, a new optimization approach combining primer vector theory and evolutionary algorithms for fuel-optimal non-linear impulsive rendezvous is proposed.
Based on the Clohessy Wiltshire (C W) equations and by considering the uncertainties and the possible failures, the dynamic model for spacecraft rendezvous is proposed, and the orbital transfer control problem is transformed into a stabilization problem.
It was the first time that Lunar orbit rendezvous was proposed as part of a lunar landing concept.
Two new rendezvous algorithms are proposed, the FDCH-RB and the FDCH-CS.
Although the pair-wise rendezvous has been proposed in [25,26], these works do not consider the problem of breaking the previous parameter synchronization.
Neural network-based adaptive observers are developed to estimate the unmeasured velocity of each vehicle, and distributed observer-based rendezvous controllers are proposed.
Southern reveals his true identity and holds the others at gunpoint, commanding them to proceed to the Leader's proposed rendezvous point and capture him.
A practical mission application is proposed to rendezvous with the asteroid 99942 Apophis by using a solar sail in combination with the provided hyperbolic excess velocity.
A relative position and attitude coupled controller is proposed for rendezvous and docking between two docking ports located in different spacecraft.
Two RB strategies called rendezvous couple channel hopping (RCCH) and asynchronous rendezvous channel hopping (ARCH) are proposed in [19].
