A Robust Digital Autopilot for Spacecraft Equipped with Pulse-Operated Thrusters
Abstract
The analysis and design of attitude control systems for spacecraft employing pulse-operated (on-off) thrusters is usually accomplished through a combination of modeling approximations and empirical techniques. In this paper a new thruster pulse-modulation scheme for pointing and tracking applications is developed from nonlinear control theory.
