Popis: In this paper, a three-axis attitude control of a small satellite employing control moment gyroscope (CMG) is presented. A four single gimbal control moment gyroscopes (4-SGCMG) cluster has been employed as the actuator and a proportional-derivative (PD) based attitude control approach has been utilized. The singularity robust (SR) steering law has been employed to investigate its capability in avoiding the singularity state of the CMG system with respect to the mission operation by setting the initial gimbal angle further from the singularity state. The presented control law was simulated in the MATLAB® SIMULINK® software. Results obtained from the simulation show the effectiveness of the control algorithm.
