Optimal angular velocity control with finite terminal time for an asymmetric spacecraft
Abstract
A method is presented to obtain optimal feedback control laws to reduce the angular momentum of a tumbling asymmetric spacecraft to rest within a finite interval of time. This correspondence only treats the case with unconstrained but finite continuous control functions.-
