This paper considers the problem of attitude synchronization for a group of flexible spacecraft based on distributed attitude cooperative control strategy. Based on the backstepping design, non-smooth control, and the neighbor-based design rule, a distributed attitude control law is constructed step by step. Under the proposed control law, it is shown that the attitude synchronization is achieved asymptotically and the induced vibration by flexible appendages is simultaneously suppressed.
