Underactuated collision-free controllers are proposed in this paper for multiple spacecraft
formation reconfiguration in circular orbits with the loss of either the radial or in-track thrust. A …

The main objective of this paper is to develop a dynamic neural network-based fault
detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for pulsed plasma thrusters (PPTs) that are employed …

Abstract Minimum Sliding Mode Error Feedback Control (MSMEFC) is proposed to improve
the control precision of spacecraft formations based on the conventional sliding mode …

A new relative orbit estimation method and practical control scheme for satellite formation
keeping is developed. We present the general formation description method based on the …

A Lorentz spacecraft is an electrostatically charged space vehicle that could actively
modulate its surface charge to generate Lorentz force as it moves through the planetary …

There has been a recent increase in the number of published design patterns for
hypermedia. Some of these patterns have been evolving, while others have remained …

Pure gravity orbit is an orbit removed non-gravity disturbances, which can give a more
precise relation between gravity and orbit, and can be used to navigation satellite, earth …

An electrostatically charged spacecraft accelerates as it moves through the Earth׳ s
magnetic field due to the induced Lorentz force, providing a new means of propellantless …

To improve the control precision of nonlinear spacecraft formation flying, the input–output
linearization minimum sliding-mode error feedback controller is presented based on the …

Feasibility of underactuated formation reconfiguration in elliptic orbits without radial or in-
track thrust is investigated in this paper. For either underactuated case, by using a linear …
