Practical uncertainties are not considered by optimal rendezvous trajectory designs proposed in many current studies. In this study, a robust optimization method for on-ground rendezvous trajectory design is proposed by considering the uncertainties and orbital replanning process. Two robust performance indices related to the final rendezvous errors and the total velocity increment Δ v are first defined, then a multi-objective optimization model (including the minimum Δ v and minimum rendezvous errors) is formulated. The unscented transformation method is used to efficiently compute the robust indices in optimization process, and a multi-objective, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm is employed to obtain a Pareto-optimal solution set. It is shown that the proposed approach can be used to design a rendezvous trajectory with the Δ v and final rendezvous errors that are both robust against uncertainties. Furthermore, the proposed approach can identify the most preferable design space in which specific solutions for practical application of rendezvous control are selected.
