Attitude Maneuver Control of Flexible Spacecraft with Finite-Time Convergence

Article Preview

Abstract:

The attitude maneuver control of flexible spacecraft with finite-time convergence is investigated in this paper. Two terminal sliding mode controllers are proposed to achieve the finite-time control, which guarantee the convergence of attitude maneuver errors in finite time. The singularity problem associated with the terminal sliding mode control is solved by employing a new sliding variable. Numerical simulations are finally provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.
