Popis: This article investigates the attitude tracking control problem for a class of flexible spacecraft with a redundant four reaction wheels’ setting. In this study, inertia uncertainties, external disturbance, wheel torque saturation, and configuration misalignment are taken into account simultaneously. Two types of sliding mode controllers are presented to solve this design problem. First, supposing the norm upper bound of external disturbances, bounds of inertia, and input uncertainties are available, a terminal sliding mode attitude tracking control strategy is developed, where the controller and steering laws are synthesized together. Second, supposing these norm upper bounds are unavailable, an adaptive control law is designed to cope with attitude tracking problem. Under both control schemes, the system trajectory can be ensured to arrive on the specified sliding surface in finite time. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed attitude tracking control methodologies.
