A Minimum-propellant Pontryagin-based Nonlinear MPC for Spacecraft Rendezvous in Lunar Orbit: the Extended Version

Michele Pagone, Giordana Bucchioni, Francesco Alfino +1

We propose a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control approach to spacecraft rendezvous in non-Keplerian Lunar orbits. The approach is based on the Pontryagin Minimum Principle and allow…
