Angular Velocity-Free Control for Rigid Spacecraft Attitude Stabilization under Input Constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel attitude stabilization control scheme is presented for rigid spacecraft. As a stepping stone, a first-order passivity filter is proposed to generate a velocity-related signal from attitude measurements. Then, a velocity-free attitude stabilization controller is synthesized by using a hyperbolic tangent function. It is shown that the controller render the equilibrium points in the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, the proposed control scheme is independent on the unknown spacecraft inertia and can explicitly account for input constraint with angular velocity measurements eliminated. Numerical simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the control law derived in this paper in comparison with the conventional velocity-free attitude control approaches.

Robust Saturated Finite Time Output Feedback Attitude Stabilization for Rigid Spacecraft
This paper investigates the velocity-free feedback control problem associated with finite time attitude stabilization of a rigid spacecraft subject to external disturbance and input saturation. First of all, to address the lack of angular velocity measurement, a novel, fast, finite time convergent observer is proposed to recover the unknown angular velocity information in a finite time under ex...

We consider the problem of attitude and angular velocity stabilization of a rigid spacecraft subject to a single actuator failure. Only two pairs of gas jet actuators are available to perform the control objectives. Various controllers have been proposed for this problem in the case that the spacecraft is axisymmetric about one of its axis. In this paper the spacecraft under consideration is a ...

Feedback controllers for the stabilization of the angular velocity vector of a rigid spacecraft using a single-gimbal Variable Speed Control Moment Gyro (VSCMG) are presented. Linearization of the equations of motion show that complete attitude stabilization is not possible via linear methods. Nonetheless, it is shown that the linearized angular velocity equations are controllable, and a simple...

In this paper, an optimal PID-like controller is proposed for a spacecraft attitude stabilization problem subject to continuous inequality constraints on the spacecraft angular velocity and control, as well as terminal constraints on the spacecraft attitude and angular velocity. The closed-loop stability is established using the Lyapunov stability theory. The constraint transcription method and...
متن کاملTorque-saturated, Inertia-free Spacecraft Attitude Control
Torque-saturated control laws for spacecraft attitude control are considered. These control laws require no knowledge of the mass distribution of the spacecraft and thus are inertia-free. We examine two specific problems. In the first problem, the spacecraft has an arbitrary initial attitude and angular velocity, and the objective is to bring the spacecraft to rest with a specified attitude. In...
