This paper presents robust fault detection based on adaptive thresholds for a three axis satellite. For this purpose, first we described the attitude control system (ACS) as a quasi linear parameter model. Next, an interval observer has been designed that based on, effect of the satellite parameter uncertainties has been propagated into the alarm limits and so the adaptive thresholds are generated. In this paper, it is shown that the developed method minimizes the missing alarm rates; also this approach detects small or incipient faults more effectively than the classical fault detection algorithms with constant thresholds. In the next part of paper, we propose an isolation algorithm using the fault tree approach. Also, an accommodation system has been designed based on reconfiguration of available actuators. Accordingly, after isolation of faulty reaction wheels, the accommodation system turns them off and replaces the suitable magnetic tourqers instead of the faulty reaction wheels and so the attitude control error is maintained limited.

In this study, a fault tolerant Attitude Determination System (ADS) has been designed which provides fault detection, isolation and tolerant abilities in this system. Suggested approach is based on derivation of all possible rotations between body and orbital frames and comparison of Euler angles provided by them. In this regard, significant changes in the variance of Euler angles set are considered as criteria for fault detection. Moreover, fault isolation and tolerant mechanisms are based on classification of rotation matrices which are not affected by faulty components. The above features present a quite analytical and computational approach which does not impose additional mass, power consumption and cost in the satellite. Also, designed diagnosis and fault correction algorithms are model-free basedmechanisms which always provide tolerated attitude angles for the attitude control subsystem. The mentioned abilities combined with the model based FDI mechanisms utilized in the attitude control system, provide an advanced decision support system capable of isolation of faults which have been simultaneously occurred in the satellite sensors and actuators. Finally, performance of the designed algorithm is approved by simulation results.

A Fault Tolerant attitude control system has been designed in this paper, which provides abilities of fault detection, identification and recovery. For this purpose, nonlinear dynamics of satellite is modeled based on Takagi-Sugeno method, which enables us to extend advantages of linear adaptive observer for nonlinear dynamics of satellite. In the designed adaptive observer, occurrence of fault in satellite reaction wheels are estimated based on an adaptive law which provides abilities of fault detection and identification in these actuators. Also, a back stepping feedback linearization control law has been applied for recovery which uses estimated fault term provided by adaptive observer as a compensation term in control law. So, bounded error of attitude control has been guaranteed even in faulty conditions. Finally, fault detection, identification and recovery algorithms have been verified by simulation results.
