Robust Output Regulation Approach for Attitude Control and Momentum Management of the Space Station

Abstract:

An novel methodology to solve the attitude control and momentum management problem of the space station with model uncertainties is developed. By the use of the robust output regulation theory, the attitude control and momentum management integrating model and the internal model of disturbances are combined to design a robust coupling controller such that the plant outputs track desired reference signals and the model uncertainties can be tolerated. It is proved that the designed controller guarantees stability of the closed-loop system and suppresses the disturbance well. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
