Abstract
The non-holonomic behavior of a satellite-robot system is used to deve lop the system's equations of motion. The resulting non-linear differe ntial equations are transformed into a non-linear programming problem using direct collocation. The link rates of the robot are minimized al ong optimal reorientations. Optimal solutions to several maneuvers are obtained and the results are interpreted to gain an understanding of the satellite-robot dynamics.
