“…Simultaneous relative attitude and position control between two spacecraft is a critical technology for many space missions, such as on-orbit servicing, formation flying, and asteroid exploration [1][2][3]. This six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) control problem is challenging since it is composed of two different motions, rotation and translation, between which there exist tangled kinematic and dynamic couplings [4,5].…”

Due to the high reliability and simple adjustment, proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) control is widely used in practical systems. However, intrinsic non‐linearity of the pose dynamics hinders the design of a PID pose controller. Besides, topological constraints on the rigid body configuration space SE(3) prevent a continuous or a memoryless discontinuous state feedback control from achieving robust global stability. For these two issues, this paper develops a dual quaternion‐based hybrid PID pose tracking control strategy, where the newly introduced integral term can compensate for constant disturbances, and the hysteretic switching‐based hybrid feedback can avoid both unwinding phenomenon and noise sensitivity caused by the topological constraints. In addition, by adjusting the hysteresis width, the proposed hybrid PID controller can also become a continuous or a discontinuous PID controller. The global asymptotic stability in the presence of constant disturbance forces and torques, and robustness to measurement noises are proven by the hybrid system stability theory. Numerical simulations for an earth‐orbiting spacecraft pose tracking mission are conducted to illustrate and compare the performances of the proposed hybrid, continuous and discontinuous PID pose tracking control laws.

“…3 It could be seen that each follower spacecraft acquires the attitude information of leader spacecraft or other follower spacecrafts through the communication network, and are finally controlled to synchronize with the attitude of leader spacecraft. 4,5 In recent years, many control schemes have been proposed for the attitude synchronization control of spacecraft formation. For example, a non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control is proposed in Reference 6 for the non-cooperative target spacecraft fly-around mission, such that the relative position and attitude errors are fixed time stable.…”

In this study, a novel fault estimation and fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme is proposed for a class of nonlinear spacecraft formation flying systems in actuator fault and saturation case, in which the directed communication topology with leader spacecraft as the root. The decentralized unknown input observer is designed to estimate the unknown actuator fault factors, which affect the performance of spacecraft formation flying systems. The obtained fault estimated values are served as the design of distributed fault tolerant formation controller. Then, a distributed fault tolerant formation control algorithm is proposed using adaptive terminal sliding mode control (ATSMC) technique, such that each follower spacecraft could synchronize with leader spacecraft in the presence of actuator fault and saturation case. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed FTC scheme is verified by numerical practical examples.

“…Wang et al [12] made attempt to use dual quaternion to describe the coupled dynamics of rigid spacecraft and investigated the coordinated control problem for SFF problem. Wu et al [16,17] proposed a nonlinear suboptimal control based on dual quaternion for synchronized attitude-position control problem. Under dual-quaternion framework, Filipe and Tsiotras [18] proposed an adaptive tracking controller for spacecraft formation problem and ensured global asymptotical stability in the presence of unknown disturbance.…”

This paper presents a robust controller with an extended state observer to solve the Synchronous Fly-Around problem of a chaser spacecraft approaching a tumbling target in the presence of unknown uncertainty and bounded external disturbance. The rotational motion and time-varying docking trajectory of tumbling target are given in advance and referred as the desired tracking objective. Based on dual quaternion framework, a six-degree-of-freedom coupled relative motion between two spacecrafts is modeled, in which the coupling effect, model uncertainties, and external disturbances are considered. More specially, a novel nonsingular terminal sliding mode is designed to ensure the convergence to the desired trajectory in finite time. Based on the second-order sliding mode, an extended state observer is employed to the controller to compensate the closed-loop system. By theoretical analysis, it is proved that the modified extended-state-observer-based controller guarantees the finite-time stabilization. Numerical simulations are taken to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme. Finally, Synchronous Fly-Around maneuvers can be accomplished with fast response and high accuracy.
