We propose a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control approach to spacecraft rendezvous in non-Keplerian Lunar orbits.

Under suitable assumptions, simplified dynamics is employed as prediction model, in order to reduce the complexity of the controller algorithm but, at the same time, without penalizing the controller tracking performance. The proposed approach's effectiveness is validated by a simulation example.

Abstract
We propose a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control approach to spacecraft rendezvous in non-Keplerian Lunar orbits. The approach is based on the Pontryagin Minimum Principle and allows the accomplishment of minimum-propellant maneuvers. The relative motion between the chaser and the target is described by the nonlinear and unstable dynamics of the circular restricted three body-problem. In the proposed formulation, we design a minimum-propellant controller, which leads to a bang-bang behavior of the control signal. Under suitable assumptions, simplified dynamics is employed as prediction model, in order to reduce the complexity of the controller algorithm but, at the same time, without penalizing the controller tracking performance. The proposed approach's effectiveness is validated by a simulation example.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
