valak Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) The problem is the following: - let's say we have a miniaturized satellite*, X; - we know its position, velocity, acceleration, the forces applied at any given moment; - we also know its mass, its dimensions etc; - the satellite tries to approach a point in space, let's say A(x, y, z). The question is: what forces (xf, yf, zf) should we apply to our satellite at any moment, such that the satellite reaches and stops at point A. (*) A satellite is a SPHERES (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPHERES). We don't need to worry about gravitaty. The satellites move by ejecting CO2.
