Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 09 April 2024

Abstract
  In this study, the control of a space capsule during the re-entry phase is examined. Re-entry is one of the most important phases of a spacecraft's mission because when the spacecraft enters the Earth's atmosphere, aerodynamic forces and moments will disturb the angles of attack and side slip. These ...  Read More

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits

A. Imani; M. Bahrami

Volume 7, Issue 1 , April 2014, , Pages 49-56

Abstract
  The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding ...  Read More
