Abstract

Systems and method for controlling the attitude maneuvers of a spacecraft in space are provided. The method automatically generates optimal trajectories in real-time to guide a spacecraft, providing a much more robust and efficient method than predefined trajectories, to model errors or disturbances. These methods do not rely in predefined trajectories and their associated feed-forward term. The systems comprise sensors, attitude control mechanisms, and a control module to orient the spacecraft in real-time, such that the spacecraft reaches a desired target attitude following an optimal path in the state space and is locally and asymptotically stable.
