Contents: This paper presents the nonlinear optimal control for the deployment process of an elastically tethered subsatellite model, which involves not only the usually addressed in-plane motion, but also the out-of-plane motion. All the nonlinearities in the system model and the mission-related state-control constraints are taken into consideration. Instead of the commonly used state-space model, a second-order differential inclusion formulation is exploited in this paper to achieve a significant reduction of the number of system variables. The optimal control is solved by discretizing the optimal control problem first and then solving the resulting large-scale optimization problem. The case studies in the paper demonstrate well the performance of the proposed strategy.
