In this paper, we investigate the orbit-adjustment problem of satellite systems in the presence of nonlinear uncertainties in kinematics and dynamics. We propose a novel direct adaptive fuzzy control scheme with prescribed tracking accuracy to address uncertain nonlinear dynamics by employing advanced fuzzy logic systems and integrating a class of sophisticated smooth functions, thereby ensuring convergence of the tracking error within a precisely defined interval. The ingeniously designed control scheme guarantees negative semi-definiteness of the Lyapunov function, ensuring boundedness for all variables. Moreover, our groundbreaking control approach requires only one adaptive law, completely eliminating any direct correlation with the number of nonlinear functions. Simulation results unequivocally validate the remarkable effectiveness and superiority of our innovative control approach.

“…This is a commonly used solution, which is why it will be referred to as ‘classic’ in the following. Some examples in which such a configuration is implemented are References 13–15. Other instances of optimal controllers encompass adaptive controllers, and within this realm, recent studies harness the potential of AI.…”

SummaryOne of the most challenging subsystems for the CubeSats is the attitude determination and control system (ADCS) because it involves hardware and software integration, advanced strategies and algorithms to determine and control the attitude that impacts on space maneuvering and well working of a large set of payload (e.g., the optical payload). Although ADCS is largely studied, it still requires further investigations and analysis in order to achieve high‐performance and a reduced efforts. This paper presents an effective and reliable solution for the ADCS of CubeSats involved in Earth observation missions. The solution is based on an innovative framework that leverages the strengths of two distinct methodologies—H‐infinity optimal output feedback control and the extended Kalman filter (EKF)‐to significantly enhance the pointing stability of satellite systems. While H‐infinity optimal output feedback control is traditionally associated with partial state knowledge, we intentionally extend its application to scenarios with complete state information. The study includes a comparative performance analysis involving three algorithm configurations: the classic combination of EKF and model predictive control (MPC), the utilization of H‐infinity optimal output feedback control without EKF, and our proposed integrated approach. Performance evaluations are based on extrinsic indicators, demonstrating the advantages of our method in terms of pointing stability and overall control system performance. This research underscore the significance of combining innovative thinking with well‐established methodologies, unlocking new possibilities for stability enhancement in a range of engineering applications.

“…Model predictive control (MPC) has been successfully applied to various fields from process industry [17,18]. In [19], for the spacecraft with model uncertainties, disturbances, and constraints on actuator torque, velocity and pointing accuracy, an attitude control law was presented through a tube-based MPC algorithm. An adaptive MPC for reference tracking control was proposed in [20] for discrete-time linear systems with parameter uncertainty.…”

In this paper, the output tracking control is addressed for discrete‐time multi‐input‐multi‐output nonlinear systems subjected to external disturbance by a novel output‐based discrete‐time integral sliding mode predictive control scheme. First of all, a control law is proposed based on a new type of discrete‐time integral sliding mode surfaces. To further improve control accuracy, an integral sliding mode predictive control law is obtained in combination with the designed integral sliding mode control and model predictive control. Rigorous analysis is provided to demonstrate that the quasi‐sliding‐mode band width and ultimate bound of output tracking error under the designed discrete‐time integral sliding mode predictive control law are of higher accuracy than those under the designed integral sliding mode control law. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate that the presented integral sliding mode predictive control law offers better performance than the proposed integral sliding mode control law.
