Dynamics and Control of Lorentz-Augmented Spacecraft Relative Motion [electronic resource] / - 1st ed. 2017. - XI, 148 p. 70 illus. in color. | Binding - Card Paper |

This book develops a dynamical model of the orbital motion of Lorentz spacecraft in both unperturbed and J2-perturbed environments. It explicitly discusses three kinds of typical space missions involving relative orbital control: spacecraft hovering, rendezvous, and formation flying. Subsequently, it puts forward designs for both open-loop and closed-loop control schemes propelled or augmented by the geomagnetic Lorentz force. These control schemes are entirely novel and represent a significantly departure from previous approaches.
