Controlling a Chain of Integrators with Constrained Actuation Using Exponential Activation Functions
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-10-24)
This paper shows how to control a chain of integrators with constrained actuation by using exponential activation functions. Specifically, it shows how the control law can be decomposed into several parts that can be activated as they are required, resulting in a simple control law that is able to make the states converge fast to zero.
Preliminary Results on Waypoint Tracking for Spacecraft with Actuator Constraints
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-07-22)
This paper presents preliminary results on how to perform waypoint tracking with spacecraft with actuator constraints. It considers a simplified spacecraft model and can be considered a deep space model, and shows how to perform waypoint tracking with only one main thruster together with full attitude control. As the spacecraft reaches close to the waypoint during a deceleration phase that makes the ...
Stabilization of Non-Cooperative Satellites in Low Earth Orbits using Inter-Satellite Atmospheric Drag
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-07)
This paper presents a novel solution to the problem of stabilization of non-cooperative satellites in low Earth orbits, which utilizes inter-satellite aerodynamic drag effects for generation of aerodynamics moments in the wake of a controlled satellite. Hence, by altering the position of a smaller controlled satellite, we are able to change the wake region and thus provide aerodynamic moments for ...
