Abstract

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
