| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to control the attitude of rigid and flexible spacecraft in three-dimensions in a minimal amount of time. Vibration suppression will be accomplished passively using input smoothing, which is extremely important when dealing with flexible structures. Additionally, a closed form solution to the open-loop control problem is desirable to limit the computational requirements of performing a complex three-dimensional maneuver. A robust Liapunov tracking controller, which is used to regulate the effects of modeling errors and nonlinear effects, is also presented. | en |
