Integrated Control of Attitude Maneuver and Vibration Suppression Using Pyramid-Type SGCMGs

A pyramid-type single-gimbal control moment gyro system mounted on a space structure is employed to realize the integrated control of singularity avoidance attitude maneuver and vibration suppression. The rest-to-rest attitude maneuver is divided into three sections, in which null motion is applied to achieve the above two objects leading to a better control performance. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified using numerical simulation examples.
