Abstract

The present invention provides a method for attitude control based on finite time friction estimation for a flexible spacecraft. The control method includes the following steps: a. introducing spacecraft flywheel friction disturbance into a spacecraft dynamics system, and establishing a flexible spacecraft dynamics system with flywheel friction disturbance; b. converting the flexible spacecraft dynamics system with flywheel friction disturbance into a state-space form; c. constructing a flywheel friction disturbance estimator; d. constructing a flexible appendage vibration disturbance observer; and e. combining the flywheel friction disturbance estimator in the step c and the flexible appendage vibration disturbance observer in the step d with a nominal controller to obtain a compound controller; the compound controller compensating for flywheel friction according to an estimated value of a flywheel friction moment; and the compound controller compensating for flexible appendage vibration disturbance according to an estimated value of flexible appendage vibration disturbance.
