Abstract In this paper, we study the control and orbit determination problems for elliptical rendezvous. Autonomous rendezvous is achieved by the proposed adaptive control based on the measurements of relative position and velocity between the chaser and target spacecraft. Moreover, the target orbital elements can be estimated during the rendezvous process. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is illustrated by simulations.
Highlights A strategy for both rendezvous control and orbit determination is proposed. We present a special adaptive control method for elliptical rendezvous. We propose an effective method to extract the unknown orbital information.
