Orbit Radial Maneuver Control of 2-Craft Coulomb Formation at Libration Point

Systems Modeling and Simulation,Automation and control engineering

This paper investigates the position maneuver control of orbit-radial 2-craft Coulomb formation at libration point. The position maneuver control is how to reconfigure the 2-craft Coulomb formation by forcing the crafts to move apart or come closer using the Coulomb force. First, the maneuver equations of orbit-radial 2-craft Coulomb formation at libration point are derived at the basic of orbit-radial dynamic equations of 2-craft Coulomb formation. The linear quadratic optimal control is used to force the crafts to desired position. Simulation is executed by using Matlab/Simulink, and numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
