S192014 Guidance, navigation and control law for one directional inspection mission using coulomb force

Abstract

For an inspection service of satellites on orbit, we consider a control system using coulomb force to control a separable and charged inspection device (deputy satellite). Specially focusing on the inspection of main satellite from one direction, we consider a sequential guidance, navigation and control law of the deputy satellite from the separation to the start of inspection, and we discuss the feasibility of the proposed method with numerical simulation results.
