Utilizing the autonomous rendezvous and docking among multiple spacecraft to construct a
large space structure is a prospective on-orbit autonomous assembly mission. This paper …

The on-orbit assembly is an appealing method to build large space structures. To improve
the assembly efficiency, each module trends towards a flexible one. How to account for the …

This paper presents an optimal control design method for multi-satellite assembly in an
elliptic orbit in close proximity operations considering input saturation constraints. Tschauner …

A scheme for the in-orbit autonomous assembly and reconfiguration of the ultra-large space
structure inspired by Vicsek fractal is developed in this paper. The grouped and staged …

This paper presents Guidance and Control (G&C) systems for multi-satellite assembly in
proximity operations. The systems utilize the twistor model, which is linearized through …
