Abstract

The problems of coupled relative position and attitude dynamics and control of an on-orbit servicing spacecraft while it is going to rendezvous and dock with a target spacecraft are investigated in this paper. Considering coupled control inputs, an integrated coupling relative position and attitude dynamic model of the on-orbit servicing spacecraft is built with respect to the target spacecraft. For the above-mentioned integrated coupling dynamic model, an integrated coupling control algorithm is proposed based on feedback linearization. This algorithm also takes into consideration the coupled relative position tracking control and bounded control inputs. Under the condition of bounded disturbance, the closed-loop system is proved to be steady by Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the coupled control law is robust with perfect tracking performance.
