Reachability-Based Safe-Start Regions for Approach to a Tumbling Target with Rotating LOS Constraints
Omer Burak Iskender, Keck Voon Ling, Wee Seng Lim, Erick Lansard
This paper presents a reachability-aware guidance architecture for autonomous approach to a tumbling, uncooperative target under a rotating line-of-sight (LOS) docking corridor. The LOS admissible set rotates with the target body frame, producing time-varying polyhedral constrain…
