On Emerging Guidance Control Problems in the Satellite Industry

摘要

The development of full electric satellite platforms equipped with electric propulsion has introduced in past decade new optimal control problems for the guidance function during the low-thrust orbit transfer operations. Automation of the satellite guidance function (either in open-loop or in closed-loop operations) is a strong trend in future satellite and constellation missions. An increased level of autonomy is also identified as an emerging need for future space missions.
