The three-axis attitude tracking manoeuvre and vibration suppression of a flexible spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances are investigated in this paper. The spacecraft consists of a rigid hub and two flexible appendages. The Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the flexible parts. The attitude dynamic equations of motion are derived using the law of conservation of angular momentum, and the flexural equations are derived. The attitude of the spacecraft is represented using the quaternion parameters. The controller is designed based on the super-twisting sliding mode control. The sliding surfaces are introduced and the global asymptotic stability of the flexible spacecraft on the sliding surfaces is assured via Lyapunov method. The control law is designed such that the sliding condition is satisfied and the system reaches the sliding surfaces in finite time. The simulation results verify the performance of the controller in the presence of bounded disturbances, sensor noises and abrupt changes in parameters.

This paper investigates the robust finite-time control problem for flexible spacecraft attitude tracking maneuver in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Two robust attitude tracking controllers based on finite-time second-order sliding mode control algorithms are presented to solve this problem. For the first controller, a novel second-order sliding mode control scheme is developed to achieve high-precision tracking performance. For the second control law, an adaptive-gain second-order sliding mode control algorithm combing an adaptive law with second-order sliding mode control strategy is designed to relax the requirement of prior knowledge of the bound of the system uncertainties. The rigorous proofs show that the proposed controllers provide finite-time convergence of the attitude and angular velocity tracking errors. Numerical simulations on attitude tracking control are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed controllers.
