Abstract

We present a numerical investigation of the performance of retrospective cost adaptive control (RCAC) for spacecraft attitude control using control-moment-gyroscopes (CMG). The setup consists of three orthogonally mounted CMG´s that are velocity commanded without the use of a steering law. RCAC is applied in a decentralized architecture; each CMG is commanded by an independent RCAC control laws. This architecture simplifies the required modeling information and treats the axis-coupling effects as unmodeled disturbances. A rotation-matrix parameterization of attitude is used to implement a dynamic compensator with state feedback. The adaptive controller is able to complete various slew and spin maneuvers using limited information about the mass-distribution of the spacecraft.
