空间非合作航天器抓捕后姿态抗干扰控制

针对空间非合作航天器抓捕后存在未知不确定惯性参数的柔性组合体姿态稳定控制问题,基于中间状态观测器设计方法提出了一种新的姿态稳定抗干扰控制方法,同时考虑了诸多扰动及控制输入受限问题。研究结果表明,传统的姿态稳定控制方法需要已知柔性航天器惯性参数信息及状态信息,上述信息未知情况下会使姿态难以高精度稳定控制,且容易导致控制输入不满足受限要求。针对该问题,考虑控制输入幅值及变化率受限前提,提出了一种基于中间状态观测器的抗干扰控制方法,通过引入辅助变量构造新型中间状态观测器,同时估计组合体状态信息及综合干扰,设计出了一种新的组合体姿态稳定抗干扰控制器。通过Lyapunov稳定性分析方法证明了所设计的控制器能够保证闭环系统的全局渐近稳定性。相比于已有的混合H₂/H_∞控制器,所提出的抗干扰控制器在应用时不需要柔性组合体的姿态及模态信息,并且也不需要惯性参数的辨识过程。最后,通过给定参数进行仿真对比,进一步验证了所设计控制器的有效性和优越性。

Adaptive controller design for satellite attached by non-cooperative object

When non-cooperative body attachment occurs in space, the inertia of the new combination and the change of the system’s momentum are unknown. This uncertainty may lead to the instability of the spacecraft’s attitude control. In order to solve this problem, we propose an adaptive control scheme based on the inertia estimation of the new, combined system of non-cooperative body and satellite. This method can allow the new combination of different situations to reach a stable state with a high level of precision and speed. In this paper, the stability of the adaptive control scheme is proven by constructing a Lyapunov function. A simulation environment in which a non-cooperative body attaches to a satellite attaches to is constructed. The simulation shows that the attitude error converges to a small field when using the control scheme, regardless of unfavorable cases, including unknown inertia parameters, added momentum. In addition, the simulation results show the strong robustness of the control scheme for the new combination.     

Adaptive Integral-type Sliding Mode Control for Spacecraft Attitude Maneuvering Under Actuator Stuck Failures

A fault tolerant control (FTC) design technique against actuator stuck faults is investigated using integral-type sliding mode control (ISMC) with application to spacecraft attitude maneuvering control system. The principle of the proposed FTC scheme is to design an integral-type sliding mode attitude controller using on-line parameter adaptive updating law to compensate for the effects of stuck actuators. This adaptive law also provides both the estimates of the system parameters and external disturbances such that a prior knowledge of the spacecraft inertia or boundedness of disturbances is not required. Moreover, by including the integral feedback term, the designed controller can not only tolerate actuator stuck faults, but also compensate the disturbances with constant components. For the synthesis of controller, the fault time, patterns and values are unknown in advance, as motivated from a practical spacecraft control application. Complete stability and performance analysis are presented and illustrative simulation results of application to a spacecraft show that high precise attitude control with zero steady-error is successfully achieved using various scenarios of stuck failures in actuators.     

Attitude coordination for spacecraft formation with multiple communication delays

Communication delays are inherently present in information exchange between spacecraft and have an effect on the control performance of spacecraft formation. In this work, attitude coordination control of spacecraft formation is addressed, which is in the presence of multiple communication delays between spacecraft. Virtual system-based approach is utilized in case that a constant reference attitude is available to only a part of the spacecraft. The feedback from the virtual systems to the spacecraft formation is introduced to maintain the formation. Using backstepping control method, input torque of each spacecraft is designed such that the attitude of each spacecraft converges asymptotically to the states of its corresponding virtual system. Furthermore, the backstepping technique and the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method contribute to the control law design when the reference attitude is time-varying and can be obtained by each spacecraft. Finally, effectiveness of the proposed methodology is illustrated by the numerical simulations of a spacecraft formation.
