Slosh attenuation via Reference Governor-based adaptive control for space operations under actuators constraints

This paper deals with satellite attitude control in the presence of actuator constraints and unmodelled disturbances. A model reference adaptive control law enhances the satellite control strategy to compensate for the perturbations and ensure precise user-defined closed-loop system performance. This result is consequently employed to build a scalar robust reference governor to enforce the system constraints with limited conservatism. The methodology is illustrated on a single-axis satellite in the presence of sloshing and flexible appendages disturbances, and equipped with reaction wheels subject to torque and angular momentum saturation.

Abstract

This paper deals with satellite attitude control in the presence of actuator constraints and unmodelled disturbances. A model reference adaptive control law enhances the satellite control strategy to compensate for the perturbations and ensure precise user-defined closed-loop system performance. This result is consequently employed to build a scalar robust reference governor to enforce the system constraints with limited conservatism. The methodology is illustrated on a single-axis satellite in the presence of sloshing and flexible appendages disturbances, and equipped with reaction wheels subject to torque and angular momentum saturation.
