A Switching Strategy for Event-Trigger Control of Spacecraft Rendezvous

Tommaso Del Carro, Gerson Portilla, Alexandre Seuret +1

This paper presents the design of a state-feedback control law for spacecraft rendezvous, formulated using the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equations. The proposed method introduces an…
