A general approach towards the observation and optimal control of high accuracy, disturbed, target-following aerospace systems is described, with special emphasis on space vehicle applications. Disturbed, target-following aerospace systems are defined as aerospace systems that are designed to track a moving target system, while they are subjected to external, time-varying disturbances. State space modelling, design of control theory, and the theory of (fullorder) observers are discussed. These modern concepts are applied to the design of control for disturbed, target-following systems. Control is of the bi-modal type, using observer-generated estimates of the state error and of the external disturbance. A critical discussion of some relevant literature is presented together with numerous examples from the area of aerospace vehicle observation and control with emphasis on space vehicle applications.
