Spacecraft Control with Temporal and Spatial Constraints is a comprehensive review of spacecraft dynamics modeling, the characterization of temporal and spatial constraints, and advanced control design and analysis methodologies for attitude and orbit control systems (AOCS) under complex conditions. It addresses challenges arising from parameter uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator faults; it serves as a valuable guide for researchers and aerospace engineers tackling theoretical and technical difficulties in space applications. The book covers a broad spectrum of topics, from 3DOF attitude or orbital motions to 6DOF proximity operations, offering abundant control design strategies tailored to temporal and/or spatial constraints for typical aerospace applications. The book is intended for technical and engineering professionals engaged in spacecraft dynamics and control, providing both theory and practical/innovative approaches to enhance mission success in complex space environmentsIntroduces temporal and spatial constraints in typical space missions, and presents advanced control strategies to handle these constraints in the presence of disturbances, uncertainties, and even actuator faultsThe book simultaneously deals with temporal and spatial constraints, while enhancing the robustness and fault-tolerance capability of the Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem (AOCS)Discusses recent advances in the theory, technologies, and applications of spacecraft 3/6-DOF (degrees of freedom) control under complex temporal and spatial constraintsSimulation and/or experimental results are provided in each chapter to reflect current engineering practice

This book explores the intelligent autonomous control problems for spacecraft with multiple constraints, such as pointing/path constraints, linear/angular velocity constraints, performance constraints, etc.
