Global finite-time attitude regulation using bounded feedback for a rigid spacecraft

This paper investigates the problem of global attitude regulation control for a rigid spacecraft under input saturation. Based on the technique of finite-time control and the switching control method, a novel global bounded finite-time attitude regulation controller is proposed. Under the proposed controller, it is shown that the spacecraft attitude can reach the desired attitude in a finite time. In addition, the bound of a proposed attitude controller can be adjusted to any small level to accommodate the actuation bound in practical implementation.
