In this unique text, authors Alfriend et al. provide a coherent discussion of spacecraft relative motion, both in the unperturbed and perturbed settings, explain the main control approaches for regulating relative satellite dynamics, using both impu
Abstract—This letter addresses the coordinated control of the spacecraft’s attitude and the end-effector pose of a manipulatorequipped space robot. A controller is proposed to simultaneously regulate the spacecraft’s attitude, the global center-of-m
