Abstract
In this paper, the monodromy variant of Newton’s method is applied to locate periodic
or quasi-periodic relative satellite motion. Advantages of using Newton’s method to
search for periodic or quasi-periodic relative satellite motion include simplicity of implementation,
ability to deal with nonlinear dynamics, repeatability of the solutions
due to its non-random nature, and fast convergence. A nonlinear Hamiltonian model
is derived which incorporates eccentricity of the reference orbit, nonlinear gravitational
terms and the J2 perturbation. Closed-loop control of relative satellite motion
is simulated with the aid of a discrete LQR controller with impulsive actuation.
