TL;DR: A novel forecasting-based data-driven model-free adaptive sliding mode attitude control method is proposed for the postcapture combined spacecraft in the presence of unknown mathematical model and external disturbance, thereby dramatically curtailing the complexity and difficulty of relevant controller design.

TL;DR: An overview of the robotics and autonomous systems (RASs) technologies that enable robotic O3 on smallsat platforms and major RAS topics such as sensing & perception, guidance, navigation & control (GN&C) microgravity mobility and mobile manipulation, and autonomy are discussed.
Abstract: The low-cost and short-lead time of small satellites has led to their use in science-based missions, earth observation, and interplanetary missions. Today, they are also key instruments in orchestrating technological demonstrations for On-Orbit Operations (O3) such as inspection and spacecraft servicing with planned roles in active debris removal and on-orbit assembly. This paper provides an overview of the robotics and autonomous systems (RASs) technologies that enable robotic O3 on smallsat platforms. Major RAS topics such as sensing & perception, guidance, navigation & control (GN&C) microgravity mobility and mobile manipulation, and autonomy are discussed from the perspective of relevant past and planned missions.
