Propellant-free Spacecraft Relative Maneuvering via Atmospheric Differential Drag

Abstract

Lyapunov Control: Controller signal is chosen such that: Lyapunov function of the tracking error is positive. Derivative of the Lyapunov function is negative. Thus ensuring that the tracking error converges to zero.
