Abstract
The problem of attitude tracking for a flexible spacecraft is studied in this paper. A finite-time sliding mode controller is applied to quaternion-based attitude control for tracking maneuvers with external disturbances. The proposed sliding mode control law is developed by using a terminal sliding mode control algorithm which is able to guarantee finite time reachability of given desired attitude motion of a flexible spacecraft. By using the second method of Lyapunov and terminal sliding mode control concepts, stability of the closed-loop system can be achieved in finite time. An example of multiaxial attitude maneuvers is presented. Simulation results are included to demonstrate and verify the usefulness of the developed controller.
