A high-order optimal control strategy implemented in the Koopman operator framework is
proposed in this work. The new technique exploits the Koopman representation of the …

Electric propulsion is currently seen as a key enabling technology for space debris removal
missions aimed at deorbiting multiple debris targets. This paper develops an autonomous …

We propose a model predictive control (MPC) policy for simultaneous station keeping,
attitude control, and momentum management of a low-thrust nadir-pointing geostationary …

Aiming at the shortcomings of non-optimal fuel consumption and low accuracy of
Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) satellites in the east/west station keeping (EWSK) at the …

We propose two approaches based on feedforward control and model-predictive control,
respectively, to solve the station-keeping problem of an electric-propulsion geostationary …

Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) is a very important strategic resource. In order to maximize the
utilization of the GEO resources, the use of all-electric propulsion GEO platforms can greatly …

Star images from star trackers are usually defocused to capture stars over an exposure time
for better centroid measurements. While a satellite is maneuvering, the star point on the …

The influence of the natural perturbation force will cause the eccentricity of the GEO satellite
to produce a periodic motion with a period of years, and then cause the east–west station of …

A predefined-time attitude controller for electric spacecraft and its thrust booms is
investigated by combining a second-order sliding mode control with predefined-time …

Station-keeping (SK) is indispensable in actual geostationary (GEO) satellite missions. Due
to the luni-solar gravity perturbations, the inclination of a GEO satellite suffers the issues of …
