Orbit-Attitude Control in a Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem Using Distributed Reflectivity Devices

What is it about?

A large surface of a spacecraft can be installed with a large number of reflectivity devices. Each device can be switched on or off with on being highly reflective. With a high reflectivity a greater force is induced. This paper proposes a way to choose which devices to switch on or off to induce the correct amount of force and torque for spacecraft control.
