Abstract:This paper investigates the problem of relative attitude control of a two-satellite formation using Lyapunov-based methods.Considering the measurability and immeasurability of angular velocity,we develop the state feedback control and output feedback control schemes.Global convergences of the satellite formation are proven mathematically.Finally,simulations are performed.Results demonstrate that the attitude coordination among the satellites can be achieved,which shows that the proposed schemes are effective and feasible.
