A high-precision dynamic model of a flexible spacecraft installed with solar arrays, which are composed of honeycomb panels, is established based on the nonconstrained modes of flexible appendages (solar arrays), and an effective cooperative controller is designed for attitude maneuver and vibration suppression by integrating the proportional–derivative (PD) control and input shaping (IS) technique. The governing motion equations of the system and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived by using Hamiltonian Principle. Solving the linearized form of those equations with associated boundaries, the nonconstrained modes of solar arrays are obtained for deriving the discretized dynamic model. Applying this discretized model and combining the IS technique with the PD controller, a hybrid control scheme is designed to achieve the attitude maneuver of the spacecraft and vibration suppression of its flexible solar arrays. The numerical results reveal that the nonconstrained modes of the system are significantly influenced by the spacecraft flexibility and honeycomb panel parameters. Meanwhile, the differences between the nonconstrained modes and the constrained ones are growing as the spacecraft flexibility increases. Compared with the pure PD controller, the one integrating the PD control and IS technique performs much better, because it is more effective for suppressing the oscillation of attitude angular velocity and the vibration of solar array during the attitude maneuver, and reducing the residual vibration after the maneuver process.

In this paper, an observer-based adaptive backstepping attitude maneuver controller (briefly, OBABC) for flexible spacecraft is presented. First, an observer is constructed to estimate the flexible modal variables. Based on the proposed observer, a backstepping control law is presented for the case where the inertia matrix is known. Further, an adaptive law is developed to estimate the unknown parameters of the inertia matrix of the flexible spacecraft. By utilizing Lyapunov theory, the proposed OBABC law can guarantee the asymptotical convergence of the closed-loop system in the presence of the external disturbance, incorporating with the L2-gain performance criterion constraint. Simulation results show that the attitude maneuver can be achieved by the proposed observer-based adaptive backstepping attitude control law.
