Abstract
In this paper, an optimal nonlinear control method based on extended state observer is presented for attitude tracking of spacecraft in the presence of actuator faults. To achieve this aim, system faults are first identified and estimated by the developed extended state observer, and then a nonlinear optimal controller is designed based on the fault information obtained from the observer. The control law is extracted in a closed form by minimizing the next attitude errors. In this method, the prediction time is considered as a free parameter that is adjusted to improve the system performance. A redundant reaction wheel is used to compensate for the faults. This redundancy enhances the system's fault tolerance, reliability, and safety. The proposed controller uses the faults information obtained from the observer and compensates for the faults by distributing the torque between the wheels. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a great performance in tracking the spacecraft attitude in the presence of actuator faults.
