Smooth finite-time fault-tolerant attitude tracking control for rigid spacecraft

Abstract This paper investigates the problem of attitude tracking control for a rigid spacecraft subject to parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, actuator faults and actuator saturation constraints. By combining the finite-time passivity technique into adaptive sliding mode control approach, a novel smooth fault-tolerant control algorithm with finite time convergence is proposed. Then, the finite-time convergence of the relative attitude errors will be achieved by implementing the proposed smooth fault-tolerant controller, even under actuator faults and magnitude constraints. In particular, a solution to the unwinding phenomenon, arising from the usage of the redundant four-parameter attitude representation, is explored in the sense of finite-time passivity. Besides detailed controller design procedures and rigorous theoretical proofs of all related closed-loop finite-time stability, numerical simulation results are exhibited to demonstrate the effectiveness and superior control performance of the proposed control scheme.
