Constrained Lyapunov Stabilization based on Gauss Variational Equations: From Spacecraft Orbital Transfers to Rendezvous

Ilya Kolmanovsky, Emanuele Garone, Grant Touchette

Lyapunov feedback laws can be constructed for performing orbital transfer maneuvers based on Gauss Variational Equations, or GVEs, while satisfying specified state and control cons…
