The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the artificial potential field (APF) method to bypass obstacles in orbital maneuvers. In particular, the study is applied to a rendezvous maneuver, in which a moving satellite (chaser) is trying to reach a second satellite (target). In this thesis, a fixed target is considered, instead the chaser is modeled in details, including actuator and parameter uncertainties. The APF method has the task of attracting the chaser towards the target while ensuring collision avoidance of moving obstacles. They are considered to be spherical and with known radius. Moreover, the position of the obstacles is measured by LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technology.
