contents This work presents a robust Model Predictive Controller (MPC) to solve the problem of spacecraft rendezvous in the context of the restricted three-body problem (R3BP) as will be required to dock with space stations in cislunar space. The employed methodology is both valid for chemical and electric thrusters. By exploiting the state transition matrix and using a chance-constrained approach, the robust MPC assures constraints satisfaction under the presence of disturbances in a probabilistic sense. The perturbations parameters are computed on-line using a disturbance estimator. The robust controller is tested for a rendezvous scenario with a target placed in an Earth-Moon Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit. Numerical results are shown and discussed.
