Lyapunov-Based Control of Coupled Translational-Rotational Close-Proximity Spacecraft Dynamics and Docking

This work presents a non-linear control strategy for the docking of two spacecraft in a leader-follower orbit pattern. The chief craft is assumed to be in a circular orbit around a celestial body. The deputy craft is assumed to have a separation distance from the chief that is small compared to the...
