This paper presents a study concerning active vibration control of a smart flexible spacecraft during attitude maneuver using thrusters and reaction wheels (RW) in combination and piezoelectric (PZT) sensor/actuator patches. The large-angle maneuver and residual vibration of the spacecraft are controlled using an extended Lyapunov-based design (ELD) and strain rate feedback (SRF) theory for a two-mode mission. The single-axis fully coupled nolinear rigid-flexible dynamic of the system is derived applying a Lagrangian approach and Finite Element Method (FEM). The overall stability of the system including energetic terms covering a hub and two flexible appendages, torsional spring, RW, and PZT dynamics, has been proved and the control law has been derived accordingly. A pulse-width pulse-frequency (PWPF) modulation is used to alleviate the excitations of high-frequency flexible modes. However, due to the fast maneuver, there are still residual vibrations in the system. Hence, the SRF algorithm using PZT is applied to prepare further vibration suppression. A great feature of the proposed hybrid actuator system is the switching time of the thrusters and RW, which is based on total system energy. The numerical results for a flexible spacecraft with large-angle, agile, and precise maneuver requirements through a comparative study verify the merits of the proposed approach.

In this paper, equation of motion of three axis attitude dynamic of flexible spacecraft is derived using combination of finite element method and Euler equation. Flexible appendafes are modeled by beam elements. Goal of control is target attitude of spacecraft from initial state to desired attitude and suppression of vibration that induced in flexible appendages. So a combination of backstepping and sliding mode control method used for three-axis attitude maneuver of flexible spacecraft and for suppressing vibration of flexible appendage used from active vibration control method by PZT actuator. Control law for vibration control is based on LQG method
