Fast Generation of Attractive Trajectories for an Under-Actuated Satellite Application to Feedback Control Design

An algorithm is proposed that performs a fast generation of trajectories that steer the state of an under-actuated satellite from a given initial value to the neighborhood of a final desired one. The proposed algorithm is then used to design a sampled-data state feedback control. Finally, simulations are proposed to test the robustness of the closed-loop behaviour under several classes of uncertainties and disturbances.
