Model-Free Prescribed Performance Control for Spacecraft Attitude Tracking

The problem of flexible spacecraft attitude tracking control with guaranteeing the prescribed performance is investigated. First, the Lagrangian model of the flexible spacecraft is derived. Then, a model-free control law is proposed, in which information of spacecraft and flexible appendage is not required. The proposed control law is able to guarantee the prescribed transient and steady-state behavior for both attitude and angular velocity errors in the presence of bounded external disturbances. The stability of the resulting closed-loop system is guaranteed by the Lyapunov approach. Two special forms of the proposed control law are subsequently obtained. The effectiveness of both complete form and special forms of the proposed control law is verified by numerical simulations. Since the modal information of spacecraft is not involved in the control design, the proposed control law can also be used for rigid spacecraft.
