Abstract

In this paper, variable thrust angle (VTA) constant thrust collision avoidance maneuver is studied. For in-plane motion, robust controllers satisfying the requirements can be designed by solving this optimization problem. For out-plane motion, a new algorithm of constant thrust fitting is proposed through impulse compensation and fuel consumption under theoretical continuous thrust and the actual constant thrust is calculated. Finally, illustrative example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control design method.
