Method and apparatus for determining spacecraft maneuvers
NPS-S8880246B1.pdf (1.148Mb)Abstract
Methods and apparatus are presented for spacecraft operation
in which a control problem is formulated using a control law
or steering law as a path constraint or as a dynamic constraint,
and the control problem is solved to provide a guidance
command trajectory for use in operating spacecraft control
momentum gyroscopes to guide the spacecraft from an initial
state to a desired final state.
