Terminal Orbital Control of Satellite Pursuit Evasion Game Based on Zero Effort Miss

In the satellite interception control strategies, both the interceptor and target could perform orbital maneuver with limited magnitude continuous thrust. Basically, this problem was regarded as a pursuit-evasion game since satellites in both sides would try their best to catch or escape. Assumption that the two player were close such that the nonlinear interception dynamics could be reduced to the CW equations. Zero effort miss was introduced to simplify the system. The controller was constructed by adding the interception miss and the fuel consumption to the optimal objective. Simulation was conducted to analyze the advantage and weakness of proposed control strategy.
