This paper addresses the time-optimal roto-translational orbital rendezvous maneuver for an inertially asymmetric rigid spacecraft in an all-thrusters configuration. To begin with, the target and chaser relative rotational and translational dynamics are driven. Then, in the presence of torque and force constraints, the simultaneously time-optimal attitude and position control problem is numerically solved using the pseudo-spectral method. The costates are then computed to establish the first-order optimality of the obtained solutions, which is confirmed by satisfying Pontryagin's minimum principle. It is demonstrated via simulation that the obtained control forces and moments are basically “bang-bang,” which is the most natural and convenient form for on–off thrusters.
