Synthesis of Programmed Controls of Spacecraft Orientation by the Method of Inverse Problem of Dynamics

摘要

The programmed control is found for the problem of spatial reorientation of a spacecraft from an arbitrary initial state to the final state of rest (zero angular velocity and zero angular acceleration). The solution is based on the concept of an inverse problem of dynamics, while the motion is described in the quaternion from. For the case where the initial state is also the state of rest, an approach to construction of a control satisfying any present constraints is proposed.
