Abstract

Large-angle attitude maneuver is common during the mission of spacecrafts, such as aligning to star to calibrate navigation system. Published works on attitude tracking always focus on optimizing the time and fuel cost, neglecting the smoothness requirement and angular speed limitations. In this paper, a nonlinear control algorithm is prompted for smooth transition in large-angle attitude maneuver. A nonlinear filter is added to the attitude feedback control loop, to carry out angular speed control in large-angle maneuvers. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of proposed approach.
