Abstract This work investigates the dynamics modeling, control, and impact resolution between a floating object and a free-floating space manipulator (FFSM). The controller design is carried out by using an output- and state-dependent Riccati equation (OSDRE) approach. In a collision between an object and a mechanism, the computation of the generalized velocities and the impact force or impulse, which are interrelated, is a challenging problem. Taking into account the free-floating conditions of the space environment, the conservation of linear and angular momentum equations, combined with the conservation of kinetic energy under the elastic impact assumption, are used to find the unknown variables of the impact problem. The control problem addressed for the FFSM is to regulate its end-effector in a point-to-point motion scenario, this while the space manipulator suffers an unintended impact with a floating object, such as a damaged satellite or space debris. By proposing a safety pause starting with the occurrence of impact and for a short duration thereafter, the proposed OSDRE design succeeds in achieving the end-effector regulation control. Although the FFSM can reach the target point, it is shown that maintaining the end-effector regulation at the target is not feasible due to the momentum imparted to the FFSM as a result of the collision. To this end, we employ a simple thruster control on the space manipulator base to complete the regulation task. The theoretical development and controller design are demonstrated through a simulation case study of a spacecraft equipped with a three-link manipulator colliding with an object.
