Attitude synchronization for multiple spacecraft with input constraints

Distributed Adaptive Attitude Synchronization of Multiple Spacecraft

This paper addresses the distributed attitude synchronization problem of multiple spacecraft with unknown inertia matrices. Two distributed adaptive controllers are proposed for the cases with and without a virtual leader to which a time-varying reference attitude is assigned. The first controller achieves attitude synchronization for a group of spacecraft with a leaderless communication topolo...

Chaotic Attitude Synchronization of Multiple Spacecraft Using Distributed Predictive Control

This paper investigates the problem of synchronizing the chaotic attitude dynamics of multiple spacecraft is investigated based on the distributed predictive control approach. Kinematic and dynamic equations are used to describe the spacecraft system according to the Modified Rodriguez Parameters representation. The respective method follows the sequential and cooperative structure of distribut...

Fault-Tolerant Attitude Control for Flexible Spacecraft with Input Saturation

Fault-tolerant constrained attitude controllers are proposed for flexible spacecraft in the presence of input saturation and actuator fault, as well as model uncertainty and external disturbance. Two input saturations, that is amplitude saturation and, amplitude and rate saturation are considered and simple and effective compensators are designed to deal with the effect of input saturation. Two...
