Optimal Trajectory Planning of Formation Flying Spacecraft
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a closed-loop Guidance and Control optimal algorithm that balances the propellant consumption and the need for collision avoidance among formation ying spacecraft. This model-based algorithm is purely algebraic and computes the spacecraft trajectories from the knowledge of the formation linearized relative dynamics equations and the formation full state. Using Pontryagins maximum principle, Guidance generates the control inputs required to obtain the optimal trajectory from the current state until the target state, and does so for each of a set of regularly spaced time instants. After each recomputation, Control applies the optimal inputs until the next regularly spaced time instant, when Guidance updates the optimal trajectory again. Simulation results for the algorithm applied to a 3-spacecraft formation in GTO are presented. Copyright c 2005 IFAC

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
متن کاملDeep Space Formation Flying Spacecraft Path Planning
Efficient algorithms for collision-free energy sub-optimal path planning for formations of spacecraft flying in deep space are presented. The idea is to introduce a set of way-points through which the spacecraft are required to pass, combined with parameterizations of the trajectories which are energy-optimal for each spacecraft. The resulting constrained optimization problem is formulated as a...
متن کاملApplication of Synchronization to Cooperative Control and Formation Flight of Spacecraft
This article presents a simple synchronization framework with application to synchronization control of formation flying spacecraft. A dynamical network of multiple Lagrangian systems is constructed by adding diffusive couplings to otherwise freely flying spacecraft. The proposed tracking control law synchronizes an arbitrary number of spacecraft into a common time-varying trajectory with globa...
متن کاملFuzzy Supervised Optimal Regulator for Spacecraft Formation Flying
The Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn is the end of an era for NASA; sending one large spacecraft equipped to carry out a multitude of scientific experiments. Future NASA missions will deploy many smaller spacecrafts in highly controlled spatial configurations in what is referred to as “formation flying.” Among the many challenges to this approach are: maintaining precise relative-positions, at...
متن کاملAas 05-103 Optimal Configuration of Spacecraft Formations via a Gauss Pseudospectral Method
The problem of determining minimum-fuel maneuver sequences for a four-spacecraft formation is considered. The objective of this paper is to determine fuel-optimal configuration trajectories that transfer a four spacecraft formation from an initial parking orbit to a desired terminal reference orbit while satisfying particular formation constraints. In this paper, the configuration problem is so...
