Title
Robust spacecraft attitude tracking control with integral terminal sliding mode surface considering input saturation
Abstract
This paper studies the finite time spacecraft attitude tracking control problem, while considering modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and control input saturation. A novel integral terminal sliding mode surface (ITSMS) is designed by combining the fast terminal sliding mode surface (FTSMS) with a low pass filter to achieve a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, without input singularity. An auxiliary signal is used to compensate for the effects of actuator saturation. The basic controller is first formulated based on the ITSMS, fast-TSM-type reaching law and auxiliary system, in the presence of an external disturbance and input saturation. Then, an adaptive control procedure is introduced, which simultaneously handles modeling uncertainty and external disturbance, thereby creating an adaptive attitude tracking controller. The proposed controller provides a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, based on the newly designed ITSMS, while simultaneously compensating for modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and input saturation, without restricting the parameter selection process nor requiring repeated differentiation of nonlinear functions. Finally, digital simulation results are presented and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
