Fast generation of attractive trajectories for an under-actuated satellite, application to feedback control design

Abstract

An algorithm is proposed that performs a fast generation of trajectories that steer the state of an under-actuated satellite from a given initial value to the neighborhood of a final desired one. The proposed algorithm is then used to design a sampled-data state feedback control. Finally, simulations are proposed to test the robustness of the closed-loop behaviour under several classes of uncertainties and disturbances.
