Abstract

This paper investigates the attitude stabilization problem of post-capture flexible spacecraft with non-cooperative target in the presence of input fault and saturation. In modeling, these non-cooperative characteristics are often manifested in uncertain and unknown inertia, model parameter uncertainty, input faults, etc. In this paper, aiming at the attitude stabilization problem of such post-capture flexible spacecraft, the attitude dynamics modeling is completed by introducing the nominal inertia to construct the comprehensive disturbance term including external disturbance, inertia uncertainty and actuator failure. Then, a static output feedback controller is applied to convert the closed-loop attitude control system to a stable negative imaginary system with H performance constraints according to negative imaginary theory. As long as the optimization variables approach zero, the iterative algorithm can find such a static output feedback controller to achieve attitude stabilization of post-capture flexible spacecraft. It is worth mentioning that an event-triggered mechanism is introduced into the control scheme to reduce the communication pressure. Finally, the numerical simulation is performed in the presence of model parameter uncertainty and controller gain perturbations. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness and non-fragility of the control method.
