This work was pursued as a supplement to an existing University Nanosat-4 activity (the Akoya/Bandit mission at Washington University). The objective of this work was to develop control theory for operating the 3-kg free-flying Bandit spacecraft, as expressed by two goals: improve the fidelity and performance of our 3DOF hardware testbed and 6DOF simulator; develop, test and evaluate two methods for autonomous multi-vehicle control (behavior-based and waypoint/autopilot) Control theory was developed for teams of fixed-thrust (constrained-actuator) space vehicles, culminating in one doctoral dissertation (with two more in progress). The 6DOF simulator was greatly enhanced in both fidelity and operational effectiveness. The new 3DOF hardware testbed did not work as intended, for reasons that will be explained.
