The Lab is in Space!
In collaboration with Obruta Space Solutions Corp, 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Spacecraft Robotics and Control Lab developed and validated a fuel-optimal guidance law for spacecraft rendezvous using NASA鈥檚 Astrobee experimental facility aboard the International Space Station during Expedition 71.
A video showcasing the approach is available on our YouTube channel, here:
Preliminary results were presented at the AAS/AIAA Spaceflight Mechanics Meeting, held on January 2025:
