Abstract
Spacecraft control systems are described for single and distributed space systems. The attitude dynamics is formulated including flexible and sloshing phenomena, followed by a description of attitude sensors and actuators. \(\mathcal{H}_{\infty }\) and robust controls are formulated as signal-based two degree-of-freedom control architectures. The equations are given for the relative motion dynamics between spacecraft on elliptical orbits with the generic Yamanaka-Ankersen state transition matrix. Formulations are provided for rendezvous and docking scenarios and formation flying control, maneuvers, avionics, and laser metrology systems together with the onboard autonomy needs.
