Description
Summary:In this paper we investigate the problem of a finite-time contractive control method for a spacecraft rendezvous control system. The dynamic model of relative motion is formulated by the C-W equations. To improve the convergent performance of the spacecraft rendezvous control system, a finite-time contractive control law is introduced. Lyapunov’s direct method is employed to obtain the existence condition of the desired controllers. The controller parameter can be obtained with the help of the cone complementary linearization algorithm. A numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
