This paper aims to discuss the approach of constrained modified feedback linearization model predictive control for the spacecraft simulator. By utilizing the high accuracy and constrained properties of model predictive control (MPC), an optimum MPC is designed for the spacecraft feedback linearized system. The composite controller has the ability to control both the attitude and angular velocity of the reaction wheels (i.e. steering the angular momentum to zero at the end of the maneuver). The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid controller has an insignificant calculative cost and facilitates the spacecraft to perform regulation maneuver with sufficient precision in the presence of external torques and actuator saturations.
