This review paper presents a comprehensive evaluation and forward‐looking perspective on the underexplored topic of servicing target objects using spacecraft swarms. Such targets can be known or unknown, cooperative or uncooperative, and pose significant challenges in modern space operations due to their inherent complexity and unpredictability. Successfully servicing space objects is vital for active debris removal and broader on‐orbit servicing tasks such as satellite maintenance, repair, refueling, orbital assembly, and construction. Significant effort has been invested in the literature to explore the servicing of targets using a single spacecraft. Given its advantages and benefits, this paper expands the discussion to encompass a swarm approach to the problem. This review covers various single‐spacecraft approaches and presents a critical examination of the existing, although limited, body of work dedicated to servicing orbital objects using multiple spacecraft. The focus is also broadened to include some influential studies concerning the characterization, capture, and manipulation of physical objects by general multiagent systems, a subject with significant parallels to the core interest of this manuscript. Furthermore, this article also delves into the realm of simultaneous localization and mapping, highlighting its application within close‐proximity operations in space, especially when dealing with unknown uncooperative targets. Special attention is paid to the benefits that this field can receive from distributed multiagent architectures. Finally, an exploration of the promising field of swarm robotics is presented, with an emphasis on its potential to revolutionize the servicing of orbital target objects. Concurrently, a survey of general research directly engaging swarms in the orbital context is conducted. This review aims to bridge the knowledge gap and stimulate further research in the underexplored domain of servicing space targets with spacecraft swarms.

“…In the spacecraft formation system, each spacecraft exchanges information with its neighbouring spacecraft under a distributed architecture, ultimately achieving attitude consensus cooperatively [11]. In the past two decades, the attitude consensus control of spacecraft formation has attracted significant research attention owing to its wide potential applications [12]. Ren [13] used proportional-derivative (PD)-like controllers to achieve the consensus control of spacecraft formation attitude alignment.…”

In this article, the optimal attitude consensus control problem of distributed spacecraft formation through local information exchange is solved in the presence of parameter uncertainty and disturbance. The attitude dynamics model of rigid spacecraft formation is established based on unit quaternion under an undirected graph. Then, the optimal attitude consensus control scheme based on control Lyapunov functions is adopted for rigid spacecraft formation. The approach to construct an appropriate Lyapunov function for multiple spacecraft is developed. Then the lumped disturbance is estimated by an extended state observer (ESO) and using the sliding mode control approach improves the robustness of the controller. The proposed optimal controller can not only ensure the global consensus convergence of the system but also make the preset performance index function achieve the minimum value. In addition, the mathematical proof is given for the stability analysis of the system by the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, some simulations and comparisons are presented to demonstrate the validity and advantages of the proposed controller.

IT2‐Fuzzy‐Model‐Based Guaranteed Cost Control for Continuous‐Time MJSs With Non‐Consecutive Transmission and Quantization

This article addresses the asynchronous guaranteed cost control (GCC) problems for interval type‐2 (IT2) fuzzy continuous‐time Markov jump systems (C‐TMJSs) with quantization and non‐consecutive transmission. A dynamic event‐triggered mechanism (ETM) for IT2 fuzzy C‐TMJSs is designed to address the limited bandwidth and communication burden, which incorporates mode‐dependent thresholds and weighting matrices. An asynchronous IT2 fuzzy guaranteed cost controller possessing unmatched premise variable information is developed to stabilize the considered system, achieving desired GCC performance. The relationship between system mode and controller mode is described by the hidden Markov model (HMM). A quantizer is employed to quantize the signal prior to transmission to the next node, modeled as a stochastic quantization utilizing the HMM. Furthermore, an improved mode‐dependent and fuzzy‐dependent Lyapunov function is constructed for stability analysis, and the conditions of optimal GCC performance are derived. Finally, two examples are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
