Abstract

Spacecraft docking with electromagnetic mechanism has obvious advantages over traditional docking methods, such as no propellant consuming, no plume contamination or docking impact. A dynamic model for electromagnetic docking was employed based on the far-field electromagnetic force model and Hill's model. High nonlinearity, uncertainty and coupling make docking control a challenging work. A transformation was utilized to linearize the nonlinear docking model with a control approach based on Lyapunov function designed for spacecraft docking. Sufficient conditions were obtained for global asymptotical stability with simulations being performed. Both theoretical and numerical results support the proposed control approach.
