Guidance, Navigation, and Control for Spacecraft Rendezvous and Docking: Theory and Methods

by Yongchun Xie, Tao Liu, Changqing Chen

Book Overview

This book focuses on the theory and design methods for guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) in the context of spacecraft rendezvous and docking (RVD). The position and attitude dynamics and kinematics equations for RVD are presented systematically in accordance with several different coordinate systems, including elliptical orbital frame, and recommendations are supplied on which of these equations to use in different phases of RVD. The book subsequently...
