Spacecraft formation flying with coupled orbital-attitude dynamics is one of the most intriguing topics in the field of astronautics. Orbital-attitude coupling is induced when a non-symmetrical spacecraft in orbit is disturbed by means of active maneuvering or by external disturbances. Direct contributing factors to the coupled dynamics include the orbital radius, the gravitational parameter and the orbital angular velocity. Disturbance due to coupling is inherently weak in nature (in the order of magnitudes of 10

In this paper, finite-time attitude coordinated control for spacecraft formation flying (SFF) subjected to input saturation is investigated. More specifically, a bounded finite-time state feedback control law is first developed with the assumption that both attitude and angular velocity signals can be measured and transmitted between formation members. Then, a bounded finite-time output feedback controller is designed with the addition of a filter, which removes the requirement of the angular velocity measurements. In both cases, actuator saturation is explicitly taken into account, and the homogeneous system method is employed to demonstrate the finite-time stability of the closed-loop system. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control schemes.
