Abstract

The problem of optimal attitude control of a spacecraft considered as a solid body with a spherical mass distribution is studied in the quaternion formulation with restrictions on the control function. The time-optimal control problem is solved. A new analytical solution is obtained for this problem in the class of conical movements based on the Pontryagin maximum principle. Numerical examples are given.
