Robust Pd Plus Control Algorithm For Satellite Attitude Tracking For Dynamic Targets

In this paper, a PD + controller combined with the sliding mode surface is proposed to improve system convergence rate and efficiency on control torque for satellite attitude tracking control. A sliding mode surface with the maneuver stage is constructed by the Euler axis; hence, the constant angular velocity is achieved. The PD + controller with the variable structure and auxiliary term is constructed to track the desired sliding mode surface. The Lyapunov function in PD control analysis is modified to simplify stability analysis. Model uncertainty, external disturbance, control torque constraint, and angular velocity constraint are taken into consideration, and a novel method to reduce the overshoot of angular velocity is proposed. The performance and superiority of the proposed method are demonstrated by numerical simulation results.
