In order to deal with the fast, large-angle attitude maneuver with flexible appendages, a finite-time attitude controller is proposed in this paper. The finite-time sliding mode is constructed by implementing the dynamic sliding mode method; the sliding mode parameter is constructed to be time-varying; hence, the system could have a better convergence rate. The updated law of the sliding mode parameter is designed, and the performance of the standard sliding mode is largely improved; meanwhile, the inherent robustness could be maintained. In order to ensure the system’s state could converge along the proposed sliding mode, a finite-time controller is designed, and an auxiliary term is designed to deal with the torque caused by flexible vibration; hence, the vibration caused by flexible appendages could be suppressed. System stability is analyzed by the Lyapunov method, and the superiority of the proposed controller is demonstrated by numerical simulation.
