The adoption of electrostatic (Coulomb) forces to acquire and maintain the relative configuration in a spacecraft formation is a topic of significant current research interest. The classical proportional derivative technique, as well the optimal LQR approach are considered, together with a Lyapunov-based strategy. The more recent State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) control approach, especially interesting for non-linear system, is also applied. The findings of numerical simulations relevant to a small spacecraft cluster in GEO are discussed in depth.

Abstract
The adoption of electrostatic (Coulomb) forces to acquire and maintain the relative configuration in a spacecraft formation is a topic of significant current research interest. The classical proportional derivative technique, as well the optimal LQR approach are considered, together with a Lyapunov-based strategy. The more recent State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) control approach, especially interesting for non-linear system, is also applied. The findings of numerical simulations relevant to a small spacecraft cluster in GEO are discussed in depth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
