Abstract:

The control of station-keeping and momentum-management is considered while tracking a halo orbit centered at the second Earth-Moon Lagrangian point. Multiple schemes based on linear-quadratic feedback control and model predictive control (MPC) are considered and it is shown that the method based on periodic MPC performs best for position tracking. The scheme is then extended to incorporate attitude control requirements and numerical simulations are presented demonstrating that the scheme is able to achieve simultaneous tracking of a halo orbit and dumping of momentum while enforcing tight constraints on pointing error.
