This paper addresses the design of sliding mode control (SMC) laws for a chaser spacecraft for a rendezvous mission on a circular orbit around Earth. The controllers for attitude and translational motions are based on SMC combined with state feedback linearization in a backstepping setup. Simulations from a high-fidelity benchmark reveal promising results
