Abstract Detumbling is a crucial first step for on-orbit service and space debris removal. Plume is an efficient medium
for failed spacecraft detumbling which can avoid direct contact to ensure the safety of the spacecraft.
However, traditional molecular plume may lead to an unaffordable fuel consumption. This paper proposes
a novel detumbling strategy by using plasma plume with the popularization of Hall effect thrusters on
spacecraft. To overcome the difficulty of real-time calculation in traditional models, a fully analytical plasma
plume model is established which can improve the autonomy of the chaser[1]. An optimal detumbling
guidance law is proposed to mitigate… More >
