Dynamic Optimal Sliding-Mode Control for Active Satellite Tracking

In the scenario of noncooperative inter-satellite tracking, motion control is necessary for the chaser satellite to guarantee the tracking continuity. A control-based target tracking method for active satellite tracking is discussed in this chapter, composed of a robust tracking algorithm and a six-DOF follow-up control law. The tracking algorithm is generated by using a relative motion model built on osculating reference orbit (ORO) and a redundant adaptive robust extended Kalman filter (RAREKF). The control law is developed for both relative orbit and chaser attitude by applying the dynamic optimal sliding-mode control (DOSMC) method based on dynamic optimal sliding surface (DOSS). Three numerical examples have been simulated to verify the effectiveness of the presented control-based tracking scheme.
