Control of spacecraft in proximity orbits
Formation flying of spacecraft and autonomous rendezvous and docking of spacecraft are two missions in which satellites operate in close proximity and their relative trajectories are critically important. Both classes of missions rely on accurate dynamics models for fuel minimization and observance …

Safety-Driven, Time-Sensitive Approach Strategies for Rendezvous with the Lunar Gateway
Spacecraft Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD) is a critical phase in expedition and resupply missions to space stations. These operations have been extensively studied and executed in the two-body dynamic context with the International Space Station (ISS). These operations are …
