Translational and angular motion control for spacecraft rendezvous with non-cooperative rotating object

In this paper relative motion control problem for rendezvous with tumbling space debris object is considered. Onboard thrusters and reaction wheels are used as actuators. Control algorithm based on nonlinear motion equations is proposed. System parameters acceptable area for successful rendezvous and docking is studied.
