In this paper, an adaptive, full-state feedback controller is proposed to compensate for parametric uncertainty while ensuring asymptotic attitude tracking errors, without the need for angular velocity measure-ments.
Abstract
The main problem addressed in this paper is the quaternion-based, attitude tracking control of rigid spacecraft without angular velocity measurements and in the presence of an unknown inertia matrix. As a stepping-stone, we first de- sign an adaptive, full-state feedback controller that compensates for parametric uncertainty while ensuring asymptotic attitude tracking errors. The adaptive, full-state feedback controller is then redesigned such that the need for angular velocity measure- ments is eliminated. The proposed adaptive, output feedback controller ensures asymptotic attitude tracking.

Attitude stabilization of rigid spacecraft with finite‐time convergence

TL;DR: In this article, two sliding mode controllers are proposed to force the state variables of the closed-loop system to converge to the origin in finite time, and the second control design consists of the estimation of the uncertainty and disturbance by adaptive method and thus it achieves the decrease of undesired chattering effectively.

Nonlinear Attitude Filtering Methods

TL;DR: A survey of modern nonlinear filtering methods for attitude estimation can be found in this paper, where a two-step approach is discussed with a first-step state that linearizes the measurement model and an iterative second-step to recover the desired attitude states.

The attitude control problem

TL;DR: In this article, a general framework for the analysis of the attitude tracking control problem for a rigid body is presented and a large family of globally stable control laws are obtained by using the globally nonsingular unit quaternion representation in a Lyapunov function candidate whose form is motivated by the consideration of the total energy of the rigid body.

Attitude control without angular velocity measurement: a passivity approach

TL;DR: This note shows that the angular velocity feedback can be replaced by a nonlinear filter of the quaternion, thus removing the need for direct angular velocity measurement, and exploits the inherent passivity of the system.
