Current status and prospects of adaptive PID control in spacecraft attitude control

Abstract

Spacecraft attitude control is a precise aspect that requires accurate operation. Adaptive PID control, in this case, could be a promising approach for improving the performance. In order to provide a better comprehension about the adaptive PID control in spacecraft attitude control, This paper will mainly discuss the aspect in current solutions, challenges, and future directions through providing and interpreting the scientific and reliable essays in this area. Several kinds of classic adaptive PID control will be introduced in the paper for their feasibility and applicability. Then, paper will discuss several kinds of limitations faced by traditional adaptive PID control in reality such as the complexity of spacecraft dynamics. To overcome these limitations, this paper will also discuss a couple of machine learning based adaptive PID control proposed by researchers such as fuzzy logic systems. These adaptive schemes can adjust the controller parameters through advanced algorithms to ameliorate the control performance of the spacecraft.
