Abstract
Spacecrafts, which are used for stereoscopic mapping, imaging and telecommunication applications, require fine attitude and stabilization control which has an important role in high precision pointing and accurate stabilization. The conventional techniques for attitude and stabilization control are thrusters, reaction wheels, control moment gyroscopes (CMG) and magnetic torquers. Since reaction wheel can generate relatively smaller torques, they provide very fine stabilization and attitude control. Although conventional PID framework solves many stabilization problems, it is reported that many PID feedback loops are poorly tuned. In this paper, a model reference adaptive LQR control for reaction wheel stabilization problem is implemented. The tracking performance and disturbance rejection capability of proposed controller is found to give smooth motion after abnormal disruptions.
