The problem of jointly controlling relative attitude and position of spacecraft in the presence of actuator fault is investigated in this paper. Following a description about drawbacks and limitations of the existing models and the control approaches based on them, a new formulation of the spacecraft relative motion is provided. Subsequently, the subspace predictive control framework, which is a powerful model-free approach, is extended in several dimensions, that is, adaptive nonlinear control, tolerance against abrupt faults and control allocation. Based on this generalized framework, three distinct data-driven fault-tolerant controllers for coupled, nonlinear and time-variant plants are developed. From the viewpoint of fault diagnosis, the only requirement of the control structure is to detect the occurrence time of faults. Furthermore, an internal data-driven fault diagnosis capability is introduced, which makes the control structure completely self-sufficient. The three controllers are then designed to solve the aforementioned problem, and their efficiency are verified via a multidimensional simulation scenario.

Using linear programming method in control allocation for attitude control subsystem of spacecraft with redundant thrusters is studied in this paper. The simplex algorithm is utilized as a solver and the Direction Preserving and Bodson’s Reduced size Direction preserving approaches are used as optimal approaches to deal with non admissible solutions. Also, proper functioning of these approaches against thrusters fault phenomenon is evaluated. The results show that the Direction Preserving approache has less computational time and less fuel consuming. However, the Bodson’s Reduced size Direction preserving approache has more computational time and more fuel consuming but less tri-axis tracking error. It should be noted that the PD controller has been used as a spacecraft control rule, and simulations have been made for the number and configuration of the specific thrusters.
