Summary The objective of this research is to support the modeling, simulation and laboratory experimental efforts of proximity maneuvering spacecraft dynamics and control. The research focuses on the autonomous guidance, navigation and control of a spacecraft for proximity maneuvering and attitude control. Inverse dynamics based guidance approach will be extensively studied through numerical simulations and experiment on the Spacecraft Robotics Laboratory flat floor and the CubeSat Three Axis Simulator.
