Abstract
This paper describes the design of guaranteed transient performance based attitude control for the near space vehicle (NSV) with control input saturation using the backstepping method. To improve the robust controllability of the NSV, the parameter adaptive method is used to tackle the integrated effect of unknown time-varying disturbance and control input saturation. Based on the backstepping technique and parameter estimated outputs, a robust attitude control scheme is proposed for the NSV with input saturation. A novel robust attitude control scheme is then proposed based on a prescribed performance bound (PPB) which characterizes the convergence rate and maximum overshoot of the attitude tracking error. The closed-loop system stability under both the developed robust attitude control schemes is proved using Lyapunov’s method and uniformly asymptotical convergence of all closed-loop signals is guaranteed. Finally, simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of both the proposed robust constrained attitude control schemes.
