The Online Recon¦guration Control System and Avionics Architecture (ORCSAT) study addresses its applicability in Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, including the implementation of the developed solution in a space representative avionic architecture system. With respect to a classical control solution High-integrity Autonomous RendezVous and Docking control system (HARVD), MPC allows a signi¦cant performance improvement both in trajectory and in propellant save. Furthermore, thanks to the online optimization, it allows to identify improvements in other areas (i. e., at mission de¦nition level) that could not be known a priori date: 2013-12 date_type: published volume: 6 publisher: EDP Sciences pagerange: 137-158 id_number: 10.1051/eucass/201306137 refereed: TRUE book_title: Progress in Flight Dynamics, Guidance, Navigation, Control, Fault Detection, and Avionics official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/eucass/201306137 citation: Saponara, M. and Barrena, V. and Bemporad, Alberto and Hartley, E.
