Constrained Attitude Reorientation Maneuver of Spacecraft based on Path Planning
Abstract
Spacecraft attitude control becomes challenging when light-sensitive instruments must avoid bright objects. This work proposes a path-planning-based spacecraft attitude reorientation maneuver considering these constraints to reach the desired attitude. Constraint-compliant attitude trajectories are computed using a fuzzy enhanced potential field approach in the attitude space. Based on the path-planning output, the control input is determined by considering the dynamics and kinematics of the spacecraft to satisfy dynamic constraints in the time domain. Numerical simulation results demonstrate successful reorientation maneuvers without violating the constraints.
