Popis: This paper presents a robust trajectory design method for approaching and rendezvous with a space target considering multi-source uncertainties. A nonlinear covariance analysis method based on the state transition tensor is presented to formulate the propagation of uncertainties including environment parameter uncertainty, actuator error, sensor noise, navigation error and initial state dispersion of the closed-loop GN&C system. Then, the robust trajectory design problem is defined based on the quantified effect of the uncertainties, and an improved self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm is presented to solve the robust trajectory design problem with uncertainties. Finally, four groups of numerical simulations are carried out to show that the designed robust trajectories can satisfy the final state dispersion constraint under multi-source uncertainties.
