Failure Mitigation during Rendezvous in Cislunar Orbit

Rendezvous and proximity operations are among the critical aspects in the future return to the Moon, and beyond. One of the most probable scenarios is the presence of a space station located in a quasi-periodic orbit about a Lagrangian point of the Earth-Moon system. Assuming a discontinuous presence of astronauts onboard, proximity operations will be heavily automated. This paper examines the relative dynamics between an active chaser and a target station in a three body setting. In particular, the dynamics and control issues are studied when some selected failures occur, which may require a new rendezvous attempt after one target orbit. The objective will be the determination and reallocation of a sequence of waypoints that guarantee passive safety of the rendezvous. The sequence of waypoints will be parametrized in terms of + consumption and time of flight between.
