Integral sliding mode-based attitude coordinated tracking for spacecraft formation with communication delays

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the attitude coordinated tracking control for a group of rigid spacecraft under directed communication topology, in which inertia uncertainties, external disturbances, input saturation and constant time-delays between the formation members are handled. Initially, the nominal system with communication delays is studied. A delay-dependent controller is proposed by using Lyapunov–Krasovskii function and sufficient condition for system stability is derived. Then, an integral sliding manifold is designed and adaptive control approach is employed to deal with the total perturbation. Meanwhile, the boundary layer method is introduced to alleviate the unexpected chattering as system trajectories cross the switching surface. Finally, numerical simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy.
