Sammendrag
In this paper we will deal with the control and stability
analysis of the relative translation of a formation of
spacecraft. A continuous control algorithm with no velocity
information will be presented, for which strong stability
properties can be proved even under non-vanishing
disturbances. As propulsion systems of spacecraft usually
do not provide continuous actuation, such results,
reported numerous times in the literature, might have
limited practical importance. We will therefore show
that due to the strong stability properties, similar stability results can also be achieved under certain quantization schemes of the continuous control signal, which
may extend the area of application of continuous control
schemes for spacecraft.
