Nonlinear H ∞ for Spacecraft Attitude Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a nonlinear H∞ state feedback attitude control design method for spacecraft large angle maneuvers, which is subject to moment-of-inertia (MOI) uncertainty. Moreover, the operation of attitude maneuver is affected by external disturbances. The attitude control design thus employs a nonlinear H∞ method to achieve stability and robustness so that both MOI uncertainty and external disturbances can be accounted for. In the paper, a solution for robust spacecraft attitude control is conjectured and shown to satisfy the nonlinear H∞ criterion. This results in a nonlinear H∞ control law that is capable of robustly stabilizing the maneuver in the presence of external disturbance and spacecraft inertia uncertainty. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

متن کاملDesign of Nonlinear Robust Controller and Observer for Control of a Flexible Spacecraft
Two robust nonlinear controllers along with a nonlinear observer have been developed in this study to control a 1D nonlinear flexible spacecraft. The first controller is based on dynamic inversion, while the second one is composed of dynamic inversion and µ-synthesis controllers. The extension of dynamic inversion approach to flexible spacecraft is impeded by the non-minimum phase characteristi...
متن کاملActive Vibration Suppression of a Nonlinear Flexible Spacecraft
In this article, the issue of attitude control and active vibration suppression of a nonlinear flexible spacecraft is assessed through piezoelectric patches as actuator and sensors. Two controller loops are applied: the inner loop, to make the panel vibration damped through piezoelectric patches; and the outer loop, to perform spacecraft maneuver using the reaction wheel acting on the hub. An o...

In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...
