Abstract :
We consider some further aspects of a velocity-free control scheme for regulating the attitude of a rigid spacecraft with gas jet and momentum exchange actuators. In particular, we consider some structural properties of the proposed controller that ensure asymptotic stability of the required attitude set-point. As shown, these properties are useful for studying stability when time-delay appears in the feedback loop
