Abstract

This article investigates the fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy towards attitude reorientation for an uncertain spacecraft under dynamic pointing constraints and faulty actuators. Specifically and firstly, an artificial potential function (APF) is designed to encode both unwinding and pointing constraints according to the analytical properties of quaternions. Then, an adaptive robust FTC scheme is derived using the APF in conjunction with the adaptive backstepping method. Using the Lyapunov analysis, it is proved the designed control scheme is able to ensure that attitude error and angular velocity asymptotically approach zero, under circumstances of model uncertainties, environmental disturbances, and actuator faults. Finally, simulations showcase the effectivity of the derived strategy in terms of avoidance of the unwinding phenomenon and dynamic pointing constraints.
