ABSTRACT

On-orbit refuelling refers to the on-orbit operation of using a service spacecraft to supply propellant to the target spacecraft in space orbit, refuelling the target spacecraft to re-enter the working state and prolong its working time. Rail refuelling technology has a wide range of application prospects. The terminal guidance technology solves the maneuver transfer from short range to rendezvous and docking process and is one of the key technologies for on-orbit supplementation. Taking into account the nonlinearity, time-varying and strong coupling of the spacecraft maneuvering process, this paper proposes a fuel on-orbit end-stage guidance technology based on model predictive control, so that the control process does not depend on accurate system models to achieve high quality control.
