“…Different types of coordination are possible using the appropriate reference projection. In a later paper, Kang and Yeh [9] first discuss applying the idea of reference projections to tracking control. Kang and Sparks [12] investigate the idea further and present simulation results.…”

“…The centralized coordination approaches have been examined in detail [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]; however, there are still gaps in the decentralized coordinated attitude control literature [4,[14][15][16][17]. The most notable gap is the lack of a decentralized coordinated attitude controller that guarantees global convergence of the spacecraft formation.…”

The problem of controlling the attitude of spacecraft within a formation is investigated. A class of decentralized coordinated attitude control laws using behavior-based control is developed. The decentralized coordinated attitude control laws that comprise the class differ by the coordination architecture used by the spacecraft formation. The choice of behavior weights defines the coordination architecture. A corollary of Barbalat's Lemma is used to prove that the class of control laws globally asymptotically stabilizes the spacecraft formation. Convergence of the system is shown to be a consequence of the closed-loop equations of motion. Numeric simulation is used to reinforce the analytic results, and to briefly investigate the effect of coordination architecture on performance.

“…A method for control of relative attitude in spacecraft formations using behavior-based control was presented in [4], where it was also showed how to rotate a group of spacecraft while maintaining the relative attitude. A method for coordinated attitude control by state feedback for the case where the leader satellite is not able to follow its reference attitude trajectory was proposed in [5], where the follower satellite is commanded to follow a combination of its reference attitude and the leader satellite attitude. In [6], a nonlinear tracking controller for both relative position and attitude was presented, including an adaptation law to account for unknown mass and inertia parameters of the spacecraft.…”

Abstract-In this paper we present a solution to the problem of controlling relative attitude in a leader-follower spacecraft formation, with focus on the rotation path for the follower spacecraft. Mathematical models of relative attitude kinematics and dynamics are presented, and a nonlinear control law designed by use of integrator backstepping is used to control the relative attitude in the formation. The resulting control law is proved to result in asymptotically stable equilibrium points in the closed loop system, and by a convenient choice of backstepping variables, it is ensured that a proper rotation path is used. Simulation results for a leader-follower spacecraft formation are presented to illustrate the performance of the presented control law.

“…In medicine master-slave teleoperated systems are used in surgery giving rise to more precise and less invasive surgery procedures (Hills and Jensen 1998), (Guthart and Salisbury 2000). In aerospace applications coordination schemes are used to minimize the error of the relative attitude in formations of satellites (Wang et al 1996), (Kang and Yeh 2002). The case of group formation of multiple robotic vehicles is addressed in (Yamaguchi et al 2001).…”
