Application of model following control and estimation techniques to attitude control of manoeuvring spacecraft Part I: Theory and simulation results

This document presents an approach to sampled data, on-board estimation and control of the attitude motion of manoeuvring spacecraft. Algorithms which are developed include: a - model following control of attitude manoeuvres b - estimation of spacecraft state (attitude, angular velocity, disturbance torque) c - optical-inertial attitude...

Application of model following control and estimation techniques to attitude control of manoeuvring spacecraft Part II: Simulation software description

This document describes two computer programs developed during a study of the application of modern control techniques in the area of spacecraft attitude control. Theory and simulation results are described in part I of this report. In part II a general overview of the tasks of the simulation program is presented, and program design aspects are...

Application of model following control and estimation techniques to attitude control of manoeuvring spacecraft

The paper presents an approach to sampled data, on-board estimation and control of the attitude motion of manoeuvring spacecraft. Algorithms for (1) estimation of gyroscope parameters (drift rate bias, scale factor error) and spacecraft state (attitude, angular velocity, disturbance torque), and (2) model following control of attitude manoeuvres...
