Spacecraft Electromagnetic Docking and Separation

Spacecraft Electromagnetic Docking and Separation solves problems for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control systems using different control methods instead of the widely used proportional–integral–derivative controller or PID control. The book focuses on presenting a variety of control strategies tailored for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation that are accompanied by stability proofs that integrate Lyapunov stability theory with sliding mode theory, LMIs-based theorems, model predictive control theories, reinforcement study theories, and other frameworks so the reader can understand how to handle different kinds of disturbances and perturbations in actual orbiting spacecraft. The book also provides a review of magnetic field, the magnetic field force model (both the near-field model and the far-field model), and useful lemmas and dynamic modeling methods of spacecraft relative motion that can serve as first stage analysis for further research, and are especially important in the initial design phase of a spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control systems.
