Guaranteed Tracking Performance Control for A Microsatellite with Attitude and Angular Rate Constraints

A novel guaranteed tracking performance control for a microsatellite with attitude and angular rate constraints is proposed in this paper. Both the transient and stable attitude prescribed tracking performances are enhanced by integrating the time varying barrier Lyapunov function and dynamic surface control. Furthermore, the angular rate constraints are also considered and guaranteed by the fixed boundary barrier Lyapunov functions. Comparing with the existing prescribed performance control (PPC) methods, the proposed method can achieve the prescribed performance and need less computation. The stability analysis is obtained by using the Lyapunov stability theorems and numerical simulation results are verified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
