Dynamic optimal sliding-mode control for six-DOF follow-up robust tracking of active satellite

Abstract This paper presents a six-DOF follow-up tracking scheme for active target satellite tracking. The scheme is mainly composed of a robust tracking algorithm and a six-DOF follow-up control law. Firstly, a relative motion model using osculating reference orbit (ORO) is built and applied to the redundant adaptive robust extended Kalman filter (RAREKF) to form an ORO-based robust method as the tracking algorithm. Then, a dynamic optimal sliding-mode control (DOSMC) with dynamic optimal sliding surface (DOSS) is proposed to design the six-DOF follow-up control of both relative orbit and chaser attitude. The scheme structure is also discussed in the paper. Three cases are simulated to illustrate the advantage of ORO-based RAREKF and DOSMC and to verify the effectiveness of the presented follow-up tracking scheme.
