  1. 32. Experimental evaluation of Model Predictive and Inverse Dynamics Control for spacecraft proximity and docking maneuvers
    Prof. Marcello Romano (Naval Postgraduate School)

    05: Rendezvous and Docking
    Oral presentation at the conference
    An experimental campaign has been conducted to evaluate the performance of close proximity and docking maneuvers of two different guidance and control algorithms based on Model Predictive Control and on Inverse Dynamics Control. The metrics of performance includes fuel usage, time to target, computational burden and constrain handling. The experiments have been conducted on two ~10 kg...

  2. 43. GNC Techniques for Proximity Manoeuvring with Uncooperative Space Objects
    Mr Riccardo Benvenuto (Politecnico di Milano)

    05: Rendezvous and Docking
    Oral presentation at the conference
    Active debris removal and satellite servicing are some of the current hot spots in space research: plenty of engineering challenges, they deal with fully or partially uncooperative orbiting objects to be approached and captured autonomously by another space vehicle. The Active Debris Removal (ADR) topic focuses on trading-off, designing and making operational mechanisms placed on board an...

  3. 35. JOSCAR/JDRAGON: Tools for Maneuver Strategy Computation Developed in Java and using PATRIUS
    Mr Ivan Sumelzo Martinez (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, French Space Agency)
    17/03/2016, 08:40
    05: Rendezvous and Docking
    Oral presentation at the conference
    JOSCAR/JDRAGON are both new tools of maneuvers strategies computation, developed internally in CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, French Space Agency) at the Orbital Maneuvers Office (DCT/SB/MO). Thus, thanks to the decision, some years ago, to use Java technology, existing Fortran tools and libraries are going to be rewritten specially in order to use the powerful CNES PATRIUS...

  4. 76. An open-source simulator for spacecraft robotic arm dynamic modeling and control.
    Dr Josep Virgili (Naval Postgraduate School)
    17/03/2016, 09:00
    05: Rendezvous and Docking
    Oral presentation at the conference
    A wide range of space missions require a robotic arm (e.g. satellite servicing, active debris removal and berthing). The kinematics and dynamics of space manipulators are highly non-linear and differ considerably from their terrestrial counterparts. The base-spacecraft is not anchored to the ground and thus it is free to react to the manipulator's motion, making the modeling and control of...

  5. 92. GNC simulation tool for active debris removal with a robot arm
    Dr Matthias Reiner (DLR)
    17/03/2016, 09:20
    05: Rendezvous and Docking
    Oral presentation at the conference
    Studies have shown that the population of large objects has become a problem in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The danger of collisions is higher than ever before and important objects are at high risk of major damage. One proposed solution for this problem is Active Debris Removal (ADR) using a robotic arm mounted on a spacecraft. A gripper or another adequate tool installed on the robot arm could...
