Abstract :
A continuous feedback controller with a periodic time varying term for the attitude control of an underactuated rigid spacecraft is derived. The attitude is described with the Euler parameter vector. Due to the nondifferentiable nature of exponential stabilizers, sampling of some measurements is used. Global exponential convergence is indicated with analysis and simulations
