Manipulators can be utilized for various purposes during space missions, eg, Canadarm2
manipulator mounted on the International Space Station assists in station construction and …

This paper addresses the translational control problem for the final phase of spacecraft
rendezvous and docking. For safety concerns, during the approach process, the pursuer …

Self-organizing control for satellite clusters is a challenging and promising problem which
has drawn considerable attention in the recent past. The artificial potential function method …

Spacecraft swarms can achieve mission objectives otherwise impossible by monolithic
satellites. To this end, swarms need to autonomously reconfigure their relative motion while …

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 …

Space debris is on the rise due to the increasing demand for spacecraft for com-munication,
navigation, and other applications. The Space Surveillance Network (SSN) tracks over …

This study addresses the problem of trajectory control for a nano satellite flying very closely
near China Space Station (CSS) with obstacle avoidance. The control law is designed …

The goal of this paper is to provide a survey and application-focused atlas of collective
behavior coordination algorithms for multi-agent systems. We survey the general family of …

A novel satellite cluster control method by means of a set of artificial potential functions is
proposed in this paper. To avoid the huge difficulty of designing target configuration for a …

Hybrid-driven underwater glider (HUG) is a new type of autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUVs). An HUG fleet can extend the ability of individual vehicles and increase mission …
