Abstract :
The paper deals with the attitude control of an accompanying satellite (AS) around a space station (SS). The concept of accompanying satellite around the space station is investigated. The reference coordinate frames are described for the AS pointing to the SS. A new control law is proposed for the attitude control of the AS in the presence of some unknown disturbances. The analytical and simulation results show that the proposed control law is very effective in attitude maneuvering and tracking
