Passive Attitude Control for Spacecraft
Authors: ,
Abstract: The stability of spacecraft attitude is studied with considering sinusoidal disturbance. A passive attitude controller without angular velocity measurement for spacecraft described by quaternion is designed. The passive controller has no information related to system parameters. So it has robustness to model error and uncertainty of model parameters. The stability of spacecraft attitude control with considering external sinusoidal disturbance can be proved by applying Lyapunov approach and LaSalle Invariance Principle. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed attitude controller.
