Abstract: Tethered-satellite systems have great potential in completing various space missions. However, existing researches mainly focus on the deployment of satellites in a circular orbit, whereas deployment in an elliptical orbit, ...

Abstract: Two attitude coordination controllers that make the system converge to the equilibrium point in finite time are designed for spacecraft formation flying with actuator saturation constraints. The first finite-time attitude ...

Abstract: This paper investigates two robust finite-time controllers for the attitude control of the spacecraft by using a modified terminal sliding mode surface. With the use of terminal sliding mode control and adaptive control, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a robust finite-time attitude controller for spacecraft with input saturation by utilizing the full-order sliding mode control (FOSMC). Using the hyperbolic tangent function and homogeneity theory, a ...
