Abstract: A hybrid control scheme for vibration reduction of flexible spacecraft during rotational maneuvers is investigated by using variable structure output feedback control (VSOFC) for attitude control ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new singularity direction escape steering law for control moment gyros (CMG) using singular value decomposition (SVD). The proposed steering law differs from the classical singular direction avoidance ...

Abstract: The minimum-time coplanar interception problem with an upper-bounded tangent impulse for a nonmaneuvering target is studied. This problem requires the same flight time for two spacecraft and a transfer orbit tangent to the ...
