摘要

An improved adaptive sliding mode control(ASMC) strategy is presented to address the robust attitude control problem of uncertain rigid spacecraft. The proposed ASMC algorithm provides an effective solution for the over-adaptation problem in current ASMC design and removes the requirement of a prior knowledge of the upper bound of the model uncertainty as well. The advantages of the proposed method are twofold. Firstly, the resulting switching gain is much smaller and a lower-chattering control signal is generated. Second, the corresponding control torque is smoother, which is more suitable for engineering applications. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
