Dynamics and Control of Lorentz-Augmented Spacecraft Hovering
Hovering can generally be defined as maintaining a constant position with respect to a target in space. To achieve hovering, a spacecraft thrusts continuously to induce an equilibrium state at a desired position. Due to the constraints on the quantity of

Preface
Lorentz spacecraft is a new conceptional space vehicle. It actively generates electrostatic charge on its surface to induce Lorentz force via interaction with the ambient planetary magnetic field. The induced Lorentz force could be used as propellantless magnetic propulsion for orbital maneuvering. Traditional spacecraft rely on the thrusters to perform such maneuvers, and the maneuvering capability is strongly restricted by the amount of the available propellant onboard. Differently, the conception of Lorentz spacecraft provides a propellantless means to solve this problem, thus greatly enhancing the maneuvering capability and extending the mission duration. Due to this compelling advantage in saving fu
