Spatial Dynamics and Control of a Two-Craft Coulomb Formation

What is it about?

A method for determining the initial configuration of the tug-debris system is proposed to ensure the position of the debris required for towing. Feedback control law align the tug–debris direction with the tug along track orbit axis and maintain a nominally constant distance between the charged tug and debris, all while stabilizing the attitude motion of the debris.
