Abstract
This paper treats the simultaneous control of spacecraft
translational and rotational maneuvers in a fixed plane using linear
proof mass actuators. A crucial assumption is that the total linear and
angular momenta are zero. We first study a fully actuated spacecraft
using three actuators and then we study an underactuated spacecraft
using two actuators. In both cases, appropriate equations of motion axe
derived. For the fully actuated case, it is shown that feedback
linearization can be used to achieve arbitrary base body maneuvers under
a mild geometric assumption on the three slots. For the underactuated
case, nonlinear control theory is used to show that the base body
translation and rotation is controllable via two independent proof mass
actuators; an open loop maneuver strategy is developed. Examples are
given to demonstrate several planar maneuvers
