Indirect optimization for finite thrust orbit transfer and cooperative rendezvous using an initial guess generator

In this paper, the finite thrust nonplanar transfer and cooperative rendezvous are investigated. The indirect method is adopted in the optimization process. The energy-optimal to fuel-optimal continuation is performed by using the homotopy method. An initial guess generator (IGG) is designed based on a simplified dynamical model to overcome the difficulty in providing the initial guess. Some reasonable simplifications on the dynamical model are applied based on the near-circular near-coplanar transfer. The initial guess can be obtained by analytically solving a system of linear equations. Therefore, the IGG has high computational efficiency. Moreover, the terminal time and state are estimated by IGG to deal with the cooperative rendezvous problem. Numerical examples are presented and the validity of the “IGG-Homotopy” combined algorithm is verified.

Cooperative augmented proportional navigation and guidance for proximity to uncooperative space targets

Navigation and proximity to non-cooperative targets have garnered the interest of both academia and industry. This paper proposes a new space operation concept that would enable two CubeSats equipped with only optical sensor to achieve autonomous and robust proximity with uncooperative satellites. This is a novel strategy for distributed spacecraft missions and applications.Because optical sensors are lightweight and therefore reduce reliance on external measurement sources, the case for their use is compelling. Designing robust guidance and control algorithm is the greatest challenge for optical sensors because relative distance information is unavailable, whereas range information is required for safe proximity. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel concept in which two CubeSats cooperate and share angle measurement data to approach uncooperative targets despite their maneuverability.This paper introduces a new guidance scheme for proximity operations, namely cooperative augmented proportional navigation (CAPN). Modern control law is applied along line-of-sight (LOS) while classical proportional navigation is applied in the normal direction of LOS. By measuring only elevation and azimuth angles between each chaser and the target, the algorithm can account for a maneuvering target. The cooperative scheme offers estimation-based distance measurement, which enhances the observability of angle-only navigation.Target’s maneuverability and different control parameter settings have been considered in simulation scenarios. The degree of observability (DOO) is then introduced as the quantitative observability analysis metric to validate the effectiveness of the guidance scheme and precision of the estimation. The results of simulations have demonstrated that the CAPN proposed in this paper is capable of completing challenging proximity missions.     

A homogenization-planning-tracking method to solve cooperative autonomous motion control for heterogeneous carrier dispatch systems

Taxiing aircraft and towed aircraft with drawbar are two typical dispatch modes on the flight deck of aircraft carriers. In this paper, a novel hierarchical solution strategy, named as the Homogenization-Planning-Tracking (HPT) method, to solve cooperative autonomous motion control for heterogeneous carrier dispatch systems is developed. In the homogenization layer, any towed aircraft system involved in the sortie task is abstracted into a virtual taxiing aircraft. This layer transforms the heterogeneous systems into a homogeneous configuration. Then in the planning layer, a centralized optimal control problem is formulated for the homogeneous system. Compared with conducting the path planning directly with the original heterogeneous system, the homogenization layer contributes to reduce the dimension and nonlinearity of the formulated optimal control problem in the planning layer and consequently improves the robustness and efficiency of the solution process. Finally, in the tracking layer, a receding horizon controller is developed to track the reference trajectory obtained in the planning layer. To improve the tracking performance, multi-objective optimization techniques are implemented offline in advance to determine optimal weight parameters used in the tracking layer. Simulations demonstrate that smooth and collision-free cooperative trajectory can be generated efficiently in the planning phase. And robust trajectory tracking can be realized in the presence of external disturbances in the tracking phase. The developed HPT method provides a promising solution to the autonomous deck dispatch for unmanned carrier aircraft in the future.

Cooperative differential games guidance laws for multiple attackers against an active defense target

Event-triggered and consensus-based attitude tracking alignment for discrete-time multiple spacecraft system exploiting interference

This paper presents a discrete-time attitude control strategy with equi-global practical stabilizability for aligning the attitude of multiple spacecraft to a predesigned configuration according to a time-variant reference. By utilizing the interference of the wireless channel, the communication scheme designed in this paper can save communication resources, amount of computation, and energy proportionally to the number of spacecraft. The exact discrete-time model and approximate discrete-time model of the consensus-based spacecraft tracking system are given. Then the framework for the design of an event-triggered control scheme for the exact discrete-time system via its approximate models is developed, which avoids the periodic actuation, and Zeno behavior is proved to be excluded. Furthermore, the control scheme can handle the presence of the unknown fading channel. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy.
