Abstract
Capture of tumbling objects in space will be one of important on-orbit service technologies in future. It requires a series of technologies such as camera-image tracking of the target, target attitude motion estimation, and attitude control of the chaser to approach and grasp the target. Based on the theoretical and simulation-based research, University of Tokyo successfully performed on-orbit experiment of some of these technologies on a NASDA's (currently JAXA's) microsatellite named “µ-LABSAT.” In this paper, the objectives and procedure of these experiments, the control and estimation algorithms and the results will be described.
