Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / In this thesis, the maneuvering and orientation of an inspection/service satellite is investigated. This thesis will demonstrate a simplified satellite maneuver around another satellite (for docking purposes). This is illustrated with a cart on an air bearing table (frictionless environment) which simplifies the problem to two dimensions. A mathematical model of the system was designed and simulated (Matlab) for this maneuver. With the simulation, different strategies were considered to maneuver the cart in a circle around another object. The conclusion was made that approximating the circle with segments would conserve propellant. This strategy was implemented on the air bearing table.
