Disturbance observer-based fixed-time control for space tether system with prescribed performance after capturing debris

Key Points

• The fixed-time control method maintains performance under disturbances, enhancing control stability in space tether systems.
• Key performance metrics show improved results with disturbance observer implementation in space applications.
• Analysis of control methods offers insights into efficient responses during debris capture missions with tether systems.
• This approach may enable safer operations and enhance the efficiency of debris capturing, but is currently limited to theoretical models.
