Adaptive Quaternion Tracking with Nonlinear Disturbance Rejection

Published: 26 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of attitude tracking for spacecraft in the presence of uncertainties in moments of inertia, environmental disturbances and reaction wheel friction. An adaptive quaternion tracking control is combined with a nonlinear extended state observer and the disturbances compensated for in each sampling period. The tracking controller is proved to asymptotically track a prescribed motion in the presence of these uncertainties. Simulations of a nano-spacecraft demonstrate a significant improvement in pointing accuracy, convergence and tracking error when compared to a conventional attitude controller. In addition the control is shown to provide a significant increase in pointing accuracy of a nano-spacecraft in the presence of reaction wheel friction. The proposed tracking control is completely deterministic, simple to implement, does not require knowledge of the uncertainties and does not suffer from chattering.
