Predictive Control for Spacecraft Rendezvous, 1st ed. 2021 SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology Series
Auteurs : Botelho Afonso, Parreira Baltazar, Rosa Paulo N., Lemos João Miranda
The brief presents several applications of model predictive control to rendezvous manoeuvres, including Ankersen zero-order-hold particular solution1, which provides a realistic thrust profile. It offers new approaches for rendezvous manoeuvres in elliptical orbits, formulating obstacle avoidance constraints, passive safety constraints, and robustness techniques. It also compares finite-horizon and variable-horizon formulations for model predictive control in the context of performance and computational complexity.
Predictive Control for Spacecraft Rendezvous is accessible to academics and students new to the topics of orbital rendezvous and model predictive control, but also presents compelling subject matter for researchers and professionals in the aerospace industry.Baltazar Parreira obtained his Licenciatura (5-year) degree in Aerospace Engineering - Avionics branch from Instituto Superior Técnico in 2001. He was a trainee at ESA-ESTEC and started working on the topic of spacecraft rendezvous in LusoSpace in 2004. Since 2006, he has been working in DEIMOS on autonomous spacecraft systems, with a high focus on rendezvous for scientific and active debris removal missions. Among others, he participated in VBRNAV, GNCO and GNCOMAT projects for ESA, and is currently working on the Rendezvous Experiment to be flown in the PROBA-3 mission. Currently, he is a Project Manager in the Flight Systems Business Unit of DEIMOS.
Dr Paulo Rosa received his 5-year degree and Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, in 2006 and 2011 respectively. He was a post-doc researcher at Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR), and a visiting scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology and at the University of Minnesota. He was a Fault-Detection Specialist at EDP, Lisbon, and is currently the Head of the GNC/AOCS Competence Center of Elecnor DEIMOS. His current research interests include robust adaptive control of LPV systems, guidance and control of autonomous vehicles - including spacecraft and launch vehicles -, fault detection and isolation methods, fault tolerant control, autonomous rendezvous of spacecraft, and set-valued estimation and control methods
