“…These factors make the design of an attitude control law with rapid and precise maneuver performance for a flexible spacecraft very difficult and even pose a great challenge to space missions. In recent years, a variety of control methods have been proposed to solve the attitude control problem, like proportional derivative control [1], adaptive control [2], ∞ control [3], passivity-based control [4,5], sliding mode control [6][7][8], active disturbance rejection control [9], disturbance observer based control [10], and so forth [11][12][13]. Although these nonlinear control laws have offered sufficient and reliable effectiveness and robustness in spacecraft attitude control systems, they require infinite time to accomplish an attitude maneuver.…”
