Abstract
This paper investigates a velocity-free finite-time attitude control scheme for a rigid spacecraft with actuator saturation and external disturbances. Initially, a finite-time observer is designed to compensate the unknown angular velocity information. With the estimated values, a finite-time controller is further developed under which the time-varying reference attitude trajectory can be tracked precisely. Moreover, input saturation problem is solved by adaptive method. Rigorous Lyapunov-based analysis shows that the states of the closed-loop system converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. Finally, the dynamic performance of attitude control system is presented by numerical simulation examples and the superiority of the finite-time control scheme is verified.
