3 Rendez-vous Using Differential Drag Assumptions Onl in-plane control is considered. The target has a stable attitude. The rotation about the orbital plane of the chaser is controlled. The control output is S d (cross-sectional area eposed to the atmosphere). S d is bounded b S min S d S ma. The maneuver planner and the drag estimator are eecuted at the beginning of the maneuver. ˆ S d ŷ Chaser Target

4 Maneuver Planner Rendez-vous Using Differential Drag The maneuver planner computes the off-line optimal control strateg for the global rendezvous maneuver. It is obtained using an hp-adaptive Radau pseudospectral transcription using the software GPOPS. The dominant effects (secular J effects and short period and altitude-dependent variations of drag) are modeled in the planner. For computational efficienc and accurac, relative dnamics is epressed in terms of decomposed curvilinear variables and linear dnamics (Schweighart-Sedwick equations) is considered. Drag Estimator To estimate the drag force on the two satellites, their accurate positions are monitored for at least two orbits. The estimation is performed b minimizing the mean square error between observed and simulated mean semi-major ais (generated through high-precision propagation based on the Jacchia 71 atmospheric model).

20 Numerical Simulation Summar The small ε is, the smaller error is. If the initial Γ 0 is too large, the control output S d is easil saturated and the errors start to oscillate with large amplitudes from the beginning of the maneuver. The response to the variation of u is slow, so the gain seems to be ended up with a larger value than the real one. How to determine δ and P ij?
