Nonlinear Optimal Control for Spacecraft Rendezvous and Docking Using Symplectic Numerical Method
This paper addresses the autonomous rendezvous and docking between a chaser spacecraft and a target spacecraft.An optimal control method is employed to plan the rendezvous Griddle Accessory and docking maneuver, considering various constraints, including force, velocity, field of view, and collision avoidance with a diamond-shaped obstacle.The opti
