Study on spacecraft formation capture control method based on disturbance observer

Abstract

In the presence of compound disturbances, a multi-spacecraft cooperative collision avoidance capture control method based on disturbance observer was proposed, which can solve the problem of low speed rolling non-cooperative target close-range capture in space. Firstly, a relative motion model of attitude and orbit coupling is established. Secondly, the disturbance observer is used to estimate and cancel the compound disturbance in the capture process. At the same time, the hyperquadric surfaces are used to describe the shape of space non-cooperative targets and capture spacecraft to establish a composite artificial potential field, and a robust control law with collision avoidance function is also designed. Finally, the stability of the controlled system is proved by using Lyapunov function, and the collision avoidance performance of the system is analyzed. Numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
