Abstract
AbstractRendezvous and docking missions of small satellites are opening new scenarios to accomplish unprecedented in-obit operations. These missions impose to win the new technical challenges that enable the possibility to successfully perform complex and safety–critical manoeuvres. The disturbance forces and torques due to the hostile space environment, the uncertainties introduced by the onboard technologies and the safety constraints and reliability requirements lead to select advanced control systems. The paper proposes a control strategy based on Model Predictive Control for trajectory control and Sliding Mode Control for attitude control of the chaser in last meters before the docking. The control performances are verified in a dedicated simulation environment in which a non-linear six Degrees of Freedom and coupled dynamics, uncertainties on sensors and actuators responses are included. A set of 300 Monte Carlo Simulation with this Non-Linear system are carried out, demonstrating the capabilities of the proposed control system to achieve the final docking point with the required accuracy.
