The problem of finite-time control for attitude tracking maneuver of a rigid spacecraft is investigated. External disturbance, unknown inertia parameters are addressed. As stepping stone, a sliding mode controller is designed. It requires the upper bound of the lumped uncertainty including disturbance and inertia matrix. However, this upper bound may not be easily obtained. Therefore, an adaptive sliding mode control law is then proposed to release that drawback. Adaptive technique is applied to estimate that bound. It is proved that the closed-loop attitude tracking system is finite-time stable. The tracking errors of the attitude and the angular velocity are asymptotically stabilized. Moreover, the upper bound on the lumped uncertainty can be exactly estimated in finite time. The attitude tracking performance with application of the control scheme is evaluated through a numerical example.

A novel attitude tracking control scheme is presented for overactuated spacecraft to address the attitude stabilization problem in presence of reaction wheel installation deviation, external disturbance and uncertain mass of moment inertia. An adaptive sliding mode control technique is proposed to track the uncertainty. A Lyapunov-based analysis shows that the compensation control law can guarantee that the desired attitude trajectories are followed in finite-time. The key feature of the proposed control strategy is that it globally asymptotically stabilizes the system, even in the presence of reaction wheel installation deviation, external disturbances, and uncertain mass of moment inertia. The attitude track performance using the proposed finite-time compensation control is evaluated through a numerical example.

In this paper, a Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control (NTSMC) strategy is investigated to address the finite-time attitude tracking problem of a rigid spacecraft. Hybrid thruster and flywheel actuator system is used for rapid reorientation under external disturbance. The reference torque is obtained from time-optimal attitude trajectory, and it is exerted on the satellite by thrusters in the form of feedforward compensation. Owing to thruster output torque deviation, initial measurement error and external disturbances, the practical trajectory of a satellite would deviate from reference trajectory. In order for the satellite to track the reference trajectory in finite time, the correction torque is deduced based on the error between reference trajectory and real-time measurements, and then applied through flywheels in the form of feedback compensation. The NTSMC method is used to solve nonsingular problem and to improve the control precision of the satellite attitude tracking issue. The numerical simulation results show that this control strategy is effective and it has great robustness.

This paper studies the finite time spacecraft attitude tracking control problem, while considering modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and control input saturation. A novel integral terminal sliding mode surface (ITSMS) is designed by combining the fast terminal sliding mode surface (FTSMS) with a low pass filter to achieve a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, without input singularity. An auxiliary signal is used to compensate for the effects of actuator saturation. The basic controller is first formulated based on the ITSMS, fast-TSM-type reaching law and auxiliary system, in the presence of an external disturbance and input saturation. Then, an adaptive control procedure is introduced, which simultaneously handles modeling uncertainty and external disturbance, thereby creating an adaptive attitude tracking controller. The proposed controller provides a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, based on the newly designed ITSMS, while simultaneously compensating for modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and input saturation, without restricting the parameter selection process nor requiring repeated differentiation of nonlinear functions. Finally, digital simulation results are presented and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

In this paper, a bounded finite-time control strategy is developed for the final proximity maneuver of spacecraft rendezvous and docking exposed to external disturbance and input quantization. To realize the integrated control for spacecraft final proximity operation, the coupling kinematics and dynamics of attitude and position are modeled by feat of Lie group SE 3 . With a view to improving the convergence rate and reducing the chattering, an adaptive finite-time controller is proposed for the error tracking system with one-step theoretical proof of stability. Meanwhile, the hysteresis logarithmic quantizer is implemented to effectively reduce the frequency of data transmission and the quantization errors are reduced under the proposed controller. The algorithms outlined above are based on an integrated model expressed by SE 3 and denoted by uniform motion states, which can simplify the design progress and improve control precision. Finally, simulations are provided to exhibit the effectiveness and advantages of the designed strategy.

This paper investigates the robust finite-time control problem for flexible spacecraft attitude tracking maneuver in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Two robust attitude tracking controllers based on finite-time second-order sliding mode control algorithms are presented to solve this problem. For the first controller, a novel second-order sliding mode control scheme is developed to achieve high-precision tracking performance. For the second control law, an adaptive-gain second-order sliding mode control algorithm combing an adaptive law with second-order sliding mode control strategy is designed to relax the requirement of prior knowledge of the bound of the system uncertainties. The rigorous proofs show that the proposed controllers provide finite-time convergence of the attitude and angular velocity tracking errors. Numerical simulations on attitude tracking control are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed controllers.

This paper addresses the finite time attitude tracking for rigid spacecraft with inertia uncertainties and external disturbances. First, a new nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) surface is proposed for singularity elimination. Second, a robust controller based on NTSM is designed to solve the attitude tracking problem. It is proved that the new NTSM can converge to zero within finite time, and the attitude tracking errors converge to an arbitrary small bound centered on equilibrium point within finite time and then go to equilibrium point asymptotically. The appealing features of the proposed control are fast convergence, high precision, strong robustness, and easy implementation. Simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this study, we investigated the sliding mode control (SMC) technology for the spacecraft rendezvous maneuver under unknown system parameters and external disturbance. With no knowledge of the mass and inertial matrix of the pursuer spacecraft, an adaptive SMC approach was devised using the hyperbolic tangent function to realize the control objective of reducing the chattering problem. In addition, the finite-time stability of the relative dynamics and the boundedness of the signals in the closed-loop system were derived under proposed method. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method were verified through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.

In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding mode control scheme is developed for attitude and altitude tracking of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system under the simultaneous effect of parametric uncertainties and consistent external disturbance. The underactuated dynamic model of the quadrotor UAV is first built via the Newton–Euler formalism. Considering the nonlinear and strongly coupled characteristics of the quadrotor, the controller is then designed using a sliding mode approach. Meanwhile, additional adaptive laws are proposed to further improve the robustness of the proposed control scheme against the parametric uncertainties of the system. It is proven that the control laws can eliminate the altitude and attitude tracking errors, which are guaranteed to converge to zero asymptotically, even under a strong external disturbance. Finally, numerical simulation and experimental tests are performed, respectively, to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller, where its superiority to linear quadratic control and active disturbance rejection control has been demonstrated clearly.
