Abstract
This research is on a realization of control approach in line with the trajectory optimization for the purpose of dealing with overactuated spacecraft in the process of the high-resolution manoeuvres. The idea behind the research is to realize closed control loops to cope with the rotational angles and the corresponding angular rates, synchronously, to handle the spacecraft manoeuvres. It is to be noted that the traditional techniques may not have sufficient merit to deal with such a complicated process, suitably. The proposed trajectory optimization is designed to provide the three-axis referenced commands, in finite burn, for transferring the aforementioned overactuated spacecraft from the initial orbit to its final outcomes in the orbital transfer process. The outcomes are realized through the variations of the orbital parameters, including the inclination, the eccentricity, the angular momentum, the semi-major axis and so on, in the high-resolution manoeuvres. It aims to get the system under control to guarantee the performance of the three-dimensional rotational angles tracking to be desirable, instantly. The contribution of the research is to make the high-thrust optimization trajectory, which is organized in association with the new configuration of the three-axis attitude control approach, to be applicable to manage the present overactuated spacecraft in the procedure of high-resolution orbital transfer process. The investigated outcomes of the research are efficient and competitive along with the potential materials through a series of experiments, as long as the desirable tracking performance in the three-dimensional space manoeuvres is apparently guaranteed.
