A study is described that compares the performance of a self-organizing fuzzy logic control law (SOC) with that of the more traditional P + D algorithm. The multivariate problem used for the investigation is the attitude control of a flexible satellite that has significant dynamic coupling of the axes. It is demonstrated that the SOC can provide good control, requires limited process knowledge and compares favorably with the P + D algorithm.

A simple method for extending the range of sensitivity of the self-organizing fuzzy logic controller (SOC) is proposed. The performance of the resulting controller is studied through its application to the attitude control of a flexible satellite. It is found that the extended SOC can provide excellent control and also possesses a high degree of robustness.

Recently small satellites have become increasingly popular because of their ability to provide educational institutes with the chance to design, construct, and test their spacecraft from beginning to the possible launch due to the low launching cost and development of microelectronics (Figure 1). Clearly, using only electromagnetic coils instead of different types of actuators will serve the purpose of weight reduction where every grams counts. But some restrictions described in the paper limit utilising only “Electromagnetic” actuation for 3D stabilisation and adversely affects the efficiency of the controller. However, there are some theories developed recently that have made the aforementioned purpose feasible. In this paper a new control method based on Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) is presented that keeps the satellite in desired conditions only by electromagnetic coils. More precisely, an approach of Fuzzy control which is incorporated with electromagnetic actuation is presented for the in-orbit attitude control of a small satellite. The design is developed to stabilize the spacecraft against disturbances with a three-axis stabilizing capability. The paper also describes the required hardware and the design and development of the magnetic torquers.
