Dynamics, Guidance and Control for Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking in the Restricted Three Body Problem
Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Deep space missions have gained increasing interest from the Space Industry in recent times, their maximum exponent being the establishment of a lunar gateway within this decade.To that end, multi-body dynamics and autonomous rendezvous and docking have been defined as crucial technologies and concepts to expand and maintain human space activities beyond near Earth orbit.In this work, a Hamiltonian derivation of the Restricted Three-Body Problem relative dynamics is presented, exploring the phase space topology, particular solutions and analogies to perturbed Keplerian motion.In addition, based on these results, a family of optimal linear and nonlinear Guidance and Control techniques are developed and validated to exploit this multi-body context and its intrinsic structures for rendezvous and proximity operations missions.
