Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability for Spacecraft Collision Avoidance
Accepted to the 20th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA 2026), Almaty, Kazakhstan. We pose two-satellite same-orbit collision avoidance as a zero-sum differential game on planar Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire dynamics in the RTN frame, compute backward reachable sets via the HJI PDE, and integrate them with a hybrid supervisory automaton governing nominal, evasive, and recovery modes.
