<p>This paper investigates a new strategy for geostationary satellite attitude control using<strong> </strong>Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG), Loop Transfer Recovery (LTR), and Linear Quadratic Integral (LQI) control techniques. The sub-system satellite attitude determination and control of a geostationary satellite in the presence of external disturbances, the dynamic model of sub-satellite motion is firstly established by Euler equations. During the flight mission at 35000 Km attitude, the stability characteristics of attitude motion are analyzed with a large margin error of pointing, then a height performance-order LQI, LQG and LTR attitude controller are proposed to achieve stable control of the sub-satellite attitude, which dynamic model is linearized by using feedback linearization method.<strong> </strong>Finally, validity of the LTR order controller and the advantages over an integer order controller are examined by numerical simulation. Comparing with the corresponding integer order controller (LQI, LQG), numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed sub-satellite attitude controller based on LTR order can not only stabilize the sub-satellite attitude, but also respond faster with smaller overshoot.</p><p> </p>

This study surveys the developments in satellite attitude determination and control system, especially for microsats. This survey is not intended to be complete but is limited to the most significant developments of sensors, actuators, and algorithms in the last two decades. First, attitude determination methods including algorithms and sensors together with actuator-based control methods are introduced. Furthermore, current problems in alignment error, flexible satellites, and low redundancy of microsats attitude determination and control system are discussed. Moreover, developments of some deep-neural-networks-based methods, which have great potential in solving current problems, are summarized.
