Abstract:
The problem of inertial pointing for a spacecraft with magnetic actuators is addressed and an almost global solution to the problem is obtained by means of static attitude and rate feedback. A local solution based on dynamic attitude feedback is also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed approach.
