Abstract

Several novel control techniques have been created as a result of the diversity of researches which are conducted about the problem of satellite attitude control. There are always uncertainties in the problem of satellite attitude control in the space missions. Therefore, Adaptive control is a method which is taken into consideration. High computational volume is one of the problems of adaptive control technique. In this paper, a control technique which is based on optimization concepts is introduced for the problem of satellite angular velocity and attitude control. Also, it's developed based on the three-dimensional special orthogonal group, and it's not faced by a singularity problem. For comparison, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control technique is simulated. Finally, the results of the simulations show that the performance of the presented adaptive control technique is optimal, and this method is robust to inertia changes.
