Orbital uncertainty propagation plays an important role in space situational awareness
related missions such as tracking and data association, conjunction assessment, sensor …

This tutorial paper provides a review of recent advances in the field of spacecraft
rendezvous using model predictive control (MPC), an advanced optimal control strategy …

Autonomous spacecraft must be robust toward uncertainty and disturbances in the system
while achieving required levels of performance. As an example, robotic servicing spacecraft …

A novel method is proposed for spacecraft deorbit trajectory tracking in low-Earth orbit using
model predictive control to command changes in aerodynamic drag. Compared to previous …

As the concentration of large space debris increases, how rendezvous maneuvers involving
these typically non-cooperative, freely tumbling bodies are planned and executed is …

Rendezvous and docking missions have been a mainstay of space exploration from the
Apollo program through present day operations with the International Space Station. There …

A robust trajectory optimization approach for rendezvous and proximity operations in
perturbed elliptical orbits with uncertainties is proposed. For robust trajectory design, a new …

We present a tracking controller for the rendezvous of a robotic chaser satellite to a free-
tumbling target satellite in the presence of uncertainty in the predicted target motion …

The problem of designing a rendezvous guidance maneuver plan robust to thrusting errors
is addressed in this paper. The aim of this paper is to develop tractable and robust guidance …

This work presents a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) that is able to handle Linear Time-
Varying (LTV) plants with Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) control. The MPC is based on a …
