Abstract
This paper deals with the stabilization problem of spacecraft rendezvous in the presence of disturbances and input saturation. A dead zone operator based model is used to describe the saturation phenomenon. By using Lyapunov method, two groups of control laws are obtained, which ensure the input-to-state stability and the input-to-state practical stability of the closed-loop systems respect to disturbance acceleration, respectively. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
