This paper provides the extension of the observability rank condition and the extension of the controllability rank condition to time-varying nonlinear systems. Previous conditions to check the state observability and controllability, only…
This paper introduces a novel control strategy for agile spacecraft attitude control, addressing reaction wheel-related input and state constraints. An optimal-decay control Lyapunov function quadratic program stabilizes the system and…
Low-thrust engines for interplanetary spacecraft transfers allow cost-effective space missions with flexible launch and arrival dates. To find fuel-optimal trajectories, an optimal control problem is to be solved. Pontryagin's Maximum…
This article solves an optimal control problem arising in attitude control of a spacecraft under state and control constraints. We first derive the discrete-time attitude dynamics by employing discrete mechanics. The orientation transfer,…
We propose an optimal control method for simultaneous slewing and vibration control of flexible spacecraft. Considering dynamics on different time scales, the optimal control problem is discretized on micro and macro time grids using a…
This paper is devoted to the controllability of linear systems of two coupled parabolic equations when the coupling involves a space dependent first order term. This system is set on an bounded interval, and the first equation is controlled…
In this paper, we study the relative controllability of linear difference equations with multiple delays in the state by using a suitable formula for the solutions of such systems in terms of their initial conditions, their control inputs,…
Electromagnetic Formation Flight is a technology that uses electromagnetic forces and torques to control multiple satellites without conventional fuel-based propulsion. In this paper, the controllability of the system is discussed based on…

The paper is devoted to the problem of global exact controllability for a wide class of neutral and mixed time-delay systems. We consider an equivalent operator model in Hilbert space and formulate steering conditions of controllable states…
Recently, deep space exploration, especially focusing on halo orbits, the periodic orbits of the Moon, has been widely studied. The spacecraft in halo orbits performs periodic orbital motion, which affects the attitude motion by periodic…
An alternative formulation for the controllability problem of single input linear positive systems is presented. Driven by many industrial applications, this formulations focuses on the case where the region of interest is only a subset of…
We consider an optimal control problem constrained by a parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) with Robin boundary conditions. We use a well-posed space-time variational formulation in Lebesgue--Bochner spaces with minimal…
Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear…
This work proposes an open-loop methodology to solve chance constrained stochastic optimal control problems for linear systems with a stochastic control matrix. We consider a joint chance constraint for polytopic time-varying target sets…
In this paper, we present the controllability properties of Keplerian motion controlled by low-thrust control systems. The low-thrust control system, compared with high or even impulsive control system, provide a fuel-efficient means to…
We present a new type of feedback linearization that is tailored for mechanical control systems. We call it a mechanical feedback linearization. Its basic feature is preservation of the mechanical structure of the system. For mechanical…
It is first shown that a smooth controllable system on a compact manifold is finite time controllable. The technique of proof is close to the one of Sussmann's orbit theorem, and no rank condition is required. This technique is also used to…
Modern Space Launch Vehicles (SLVs), being slender in shape and due to the use of lightweight materials, are generally flexible in nature. This structural flexibility, when coupled with sensor and actuator dynamics, can adversely affect the…
