Abstract
The thesis improves how satellites are guided, navigated, and controlled during in-orbit servicing using spinning electrodynamic tethers. It follows a step-by-step approach that combines analytical modeling, software development, and numerical analysis to explain the main control elements, ending with hardware-in-the-loop testing.
