Model Predictive Control of an Underactuated Spacecraft with Two Reaction Wheels
2017
Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics
This paper presents an application of model predictive control to the attitude dynamics of an underactuated spacecraft with two reaction wheels and zero angular momentum. Such a system cannot be stabilized by any smooth or continuous time-invariant feedback law. However, model predictive control has a remarkable ability to generate control laws that are discontinuous in the state and, as such, can be applied to this problem. The model predictive control formulation is analyzed in depth and
