Abstract This paper considers a nonlinear suboptimal control problem for a near-space hypersonic vehicle's (NSHV's) attitude dynamics. The least-square and stable manifold methods first solve an unconstrained approximately optimal control law corresponding to the nonlinear attitude model. Then, to further meet the dynamic performance requirement of the attitude control system, a novel strategy based on the Koopman operator, symplectic geometric theory, and the stable manifold theorem is proposed to approximate the eigenvalues of the closed-loop nonlinear unconstrained approximated optimal control system. The weight matrices in the optimal performance index, which directly determine the output responses of the nonlinear attitude dynamics, can be appropriately designed according to the eigenvalues. The final control law considers the actuator constraints. The NSHV's closed-loop attitude control system is proved to be locally exponentially stable, and the suboptimality of the control law is analyzed. Numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

An experimental attitude control algorithm design using prototypes can minimize space mission costs by reducing the number of errors transmitted to the next phase of the project. The Space Mechanics and Control Division (DMC) of INPE is constructing a 3D simulator to supply the conditions for implementing and testing satellite control hardware and software. Satellite large angle maneuver makes the plant highly nonlinear and if the parameters of the system are not well determined, the plant can also present some level of uncertainty. As a result, controller designed by a linear control technique can have its performance and robustness degraded. In this paper the standard LQR linear controller and the SDRE controller associated with an SDRE filter are applied to design a controller for a nonlinear plant. The plant is similar to the DMC 3D satellite simulator where the unstructured uncertainties of the system are represented by process and measurements noise. In the sequel the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) method is used to design and test an attitude control algorithm based on gas jets and reaction wheel torques to perform large angle maneuver in three axes. The SDRE controller design takes into account the effects of the plant nonlinearities and system noise which represents uncertainty. The SDRE controller performance and robustness are tested during the transition phase from angular velocity reductions to normal mode of operation with stringent pointing accuracy using a switching control algorithm based on minimum system energy. This work serves to validate the numerical simulator model and to verify the functionality of the control algorithm designed by the SDRE method.

Modern spacecraft demands from an attitude control system very high performance and accuracy, and many new features, such as disturbance rejection capability. The recently developed active disturbance rejection control technology is applied to the attitude control of spacecraft subject to disturbances and parametric uncertainties. Simulation and experiment show significant advantages of the proposed attitude controller over the controller resulting from conventional PID approach.

A Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) is a ballistic missile payload containing several warheads each capable of hitting one of a group of targets. In the process of missile flight control, the release of warheads brings about coupling to the missile attitude control system which will lower the flight stability. In order to solve this problem, a missile attitude controller, which combined the α-order integral inverse system with internal model principle, was presented. Firstly, determine the Post Boost Vehicle (PBV) attitude dynamics model. Then, combine the linearization of attitude dynamics equation with feed-forward decoupling method to implement the attitude decoupling. Finally, a two-degree of freedom (TOF) multivariable internal model controller was set up to optimize the control system performance. Simulation results show that the coupling of attitude control system has been eliminated. Compared with the original system, the internal model controller provides the control system better input-tracking performance, robust stability and interference suppression capacity.

This paper presents a robust Proportional Integral Derivative controller design methodology for three axis attitude control of a rigid spacecraft with parametric uncertainty using a combination of Kharitonov theorem and vectored particle swarm optimization based approaches. A controller is designed for each of the three axes using a systematic graphical approach. Here, a plot of the stability boundary loci in the integral gain versus proportional gain parameter plane, for the specified gain and phase margins for each of the Kharitonov interval plants is used to determine the region representing the set of all PID controllers that satisfy the desired performance and stability requirements. Vectored particle swarm optimization technique is used to determine the optimized proportional and integral gain values. The spacecraft attitude control system is simulated using Matlab-Simulink tool which shows that the designed controller provides stability, robustness, good reference pointing and disturbance rejection for perturbations within the specific bounds.

Aimed at characteristics of mass moment of missiles in exo-atmosphere, it’s inferred that 6-DOF mathematical model based on mass moment controlling stabilities on three axes. Considering the problem of harmoniously controlling two moving masses, moving mass based non-linear theorem was used to solve a series of problems met in attitude control system design. In order to weaken the chattering of the system, a saturation function is introduced to substitute for Sign function to improve the variable structure control law so that the chattering can be depressed. The simulation results illustrate the efficiency of this method.

The paper focuses on applying optimal control solutions to combined energy storage and attitude control system (CEACS) under different reference missions. In previous researches, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method, the PID-active force control method and H2 control were tested for CEACS and achieved its mission requirement. However, problems such as the in-orbit system uncertainties affect the PID control performances. Thus, two optimal control methods, H2 and H∞ controls are proposed and tested on CEACS under different mission scenarios to improve its pitch attitude accuracy. Results show that both H2 and H∞ are able to achieve the reference mission requirement even under the influence of uncertainties (non-ideal). Moreover comparison between H2 and H∞ shows the H2 is a better control option for CEACS in terms of disturbance rejection.
