Spacecraft Attitude Control

Spacecraft Attitude Control: A Linear Matrix Inequality Approach solves problems
for spacecraft attitude control systems using convex optimization and, specifi cally,
through a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach.

High-precision pointing and improved
robustness in the face of external disturbances and other uncertainties are requirements
for the current generation of spacecraft.

This book presents an LMI approach to spacecraft
attitude control and shows that all uncertainties in the maneuvering process can be
solved numerically.

It explains how a model-like state space can be developed through a
mathematical presentation of attitude control systems, allowing the controller in question to
be applied universally.

The authors describe a wide variety of novel and robust controllers,
applicable both to spacecraft attitude control and easily extendable to second-order
systems.

Spacecraft Attitude Control provides its readers with an accessible introduction
to spacecraft attitude control and robust systems, giving an extensive survey of current
research and helping researchers improve robust control performance.
