Fast Online Attitude Maneuver Planning of Spacecraft Using Finite Fourier Series Shape-based Method

In this paper, problem of online fast attitude planning and obstacle avoidance for spacecraft is addressed. A new approach to generate three dimensional trajectory used finite Fourier series (FFS) shape-based method is proposed. By which, time-optimal trajectory under constraints of attitude dynamics and satisfies demand of collision avoidance with obstacles is obtained. Simulation example is set up to validate the effectiveness of the proposed attitude maneuver planning method.
