A Method for Hardware-in-the-Loop Validation of Satellite Systems during Close-Proximity Operations

Master thesis (2026) - J.A. Poot, A. Caon, J. Guo, M.S. Uludag, C. de Wagter
To test GNC systems for close-proximity operations in orbit, it is necessary to recreate the approach trajectories on the ground. This thesis explores how the flexibility of bases with omnidirectional wheels can be exploited to reproduce approach trajectories. It describes how a point-to-point control algorithm can be combined with the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of relative orbital motion, to achieve accurate reproductions. ...
