Fuel-Optimal Rendezvous in a Central Force Field with Linear Drag | | Mayer Humi

15 Feb 2001 | | Subject: | Optimization and Control; Dynamical Systems | math.OC math.DS | | Affiliation: | department of mathematical sciences,Worcester Polytechnic Institute,Worcester,MA), Thomas Carter (department of mathematics,Eastern CT State University,Willimantic, CT | | Abstract: | In this paper we consider the fuel-optimal rendezvous between a satellite and a spacecraft in a central force field with a drag force that is linear in the velocity. In this general setting we linearize the equations of motion of the spacecraft and show that they can be reduced effectively, in the case of a linear drag, to one second order linear differential equation. We then specialize to the case of inverse square laws. Under certain simplifying assumptions a state-transition matrix can be found in terms of integrals. The work can then be placed in the context of various control models that have been developed in previouswork. PAPER WAS WITHDRAWN BY AUTHORS. IT will apprear in AIAA J.
