Opis

This book discusses all spacecraft attitude control related topics: spacecraft modeling, spacecraft attitude determination and estimation, and spacecraft attitude controls. It also presents a brief background on rotation sequence representations and often-used reference frames.

Recenzje

"This book provides a good and comprehensive overview of spacecraft attitude dynamics, determination and control, including advances in the quaternion-based approach, with application to practical problems such as coupled attitude and orbit control and model predictive optimal control with realistic actuators constraints. In conclusion, the book is a good and useful resource for researchers and research minded engineers wishing to develop a more detailed understanding of some of the latest advances in robust pole placement and model predictive control to spacecraft attitude control. The quaternion based approach is applied to practical attitude estimation and attitude control problems ranging from nadir pointing using reaction wheels or CMGs to momentum dumping using magnetic torquers and coupled attitude and orbit control for spacecraft docking."
