This paper proposes a trajectory-optimization problem for spacecraft close proximity to a noncooperative target, aiming at the generation of a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) trajectory with the fuel-optimal objective value and considering multiple constraints on the control magnitude, line-of-sight, and glide-slope. The line-of-sight and glide-slope constraints are coupled between translational and rotational motions. The dual quaternion is an effective method for establishing the translationally and rotationally coupled model, because it can represent the translation and rotation in an integrated manner. Therefore, in this study, the trajectory-optimization problem of spacecraft close proximity coupled with position and attitude is established using dual quaternions. Next, the close-proximity trajectory-optimization problem is converted into a nonlinear programming problem, which can be solved efficiently using well-developed algorithms such as convex optimization. However, the zero-order hold used in the discrete method of convex optimization is an equidistant dispersion, which cannot guarantee the satisfaction of constraints between discrete points. Therefore the pseudospectral convex method is proposed using nonequidistant collocation points to mitigate the problem of constraint violation between discrete points and improve the accuracy and computational efficiency of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm can be applied to tasks such as rendezvous and docking with noncooperative targets and close proximity. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was validated via numerical simulation, and the results were compared with those of the existing approach, GPOPS. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is superior to GPOPS in computational efficiency and objective values.
