Abstract

The problem of robust global stabilization of a spacecraft circular orbit rendezvous system with input saturation and input-additive uncertainties is studied in this paper. The relative models with saturation nonlinearity are established based on Clohessey-Wiltshire equation. Considering the advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation-based low gain feedback design method and an existing high gain scheduling technique, a new robust gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the robust global stabilization problem. To apply the proposed gain scheduling approaches, only a scalar nonlinear equation is required to be solved. Different from the controller design, simulations have been carried out directly on the nonlinear model of the spacecraft rendezvous operation instead of a linearized one. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown.
