A next-state optimization technique for monitoring spacecraft maneuvers is examined. The optimization technique permits simultaneous trajectory planning and tracking, incorporates actuator saturation and attitude constraints, and prevents overshoot and undershoot. The global linearization of the dynamics and kinematics for a spacecraft driven by reaction wheels is considered. The equations utilized to derive the spacecraft trajectories are presented. The applications of the next-state optimization procedure to a spacecraft maneuvered by momentum transfer devices and the tracking of the nominal trajectory of a critically damped harmonic oscillator response are described.
