Observer-based impulsive stabilization for spacecraft rendezvous

This paper addresses the problem of observer-based impulsive stabilization for spacecraft rendezvous. An observer-based control strategy is developed to solve the stabilization problem in the presences of parameter uncertainty and variance constraint. Sufficient condition for the existence of the proposed controller is provided, and the controller synthesis problems are solved via linear matrix inequalities approach. Finally, a numerical example is established to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
