Resumo(s)
This paper addresses two complementary problems of spacecraft formation flying, namely spacecraft platooning and on-orbit spacecraft servicing, using Model Predictive Control (MPC). With the proposed solutions, these space formation scenarios can be regarded as a cooperative system composed of several spacecraft with a common goal, which may have clear advantages relative to other approaches. For each application scenario, a different optimization problem and MPC design is presented, including relevant constraints to deal with physical limitations, visibility problems, and also to guarantee a collision-free trajectory from other spacecraft or obstacles. The proposed methods are validated with realistic simulation results, showing that all vehicles demonstrate reliable performance following a given trajectory or goal in a formation, while satisfying all the considered constraints.
