Abstract

The goal of the thesis would be to refine and work with GNC challenges in non-conventional dynamical environments. Such environments include low gravity scenarios and multiple body scenarios, where key parameters and physical environments are typically unknown and/or complex. Possible end goals may be the development or research into autonomous G&C systems that are able to autonomously perform onboard complex behaviours such as touch and go manoeuvres, autonomous ascent and rendezvous, and other crucial orbital manoeuvres that, due to time differences and short time constants, may not necessarily be performed manually from earth.
