Translational and rotational motion planning for spacecraft close proximity using sampling-based methods
Translational and rotational motion planning for spacecraft close proximity using sampling-based methods is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering''. The main subjects of the publication include trajectory, collision detection, translation, spacecraft, motion planning, missile guidance, computer science, control theory, mathematical optimization, sampling, Collision avoidance, piecewise function, flocking, rotation, mathematics, and spacecraft propulsion. Numerical experiments indicate that the proposed sampling-based methods can rapidly return asymptotic optimal translation trajectory and rotation path satisfying collision avoidance and sensor field-of-view constraints. .
