Abstract

In this paper, the attitude tracking problem for rigid spacecraft under preset performance boundaries and actuator faults is solved by a low-complexity prescribed performance control approach. An interval observer is used to reconstruct the lumped disturbance which contains external disturbance and actuator faults, eliminating the need to assume boundedness of the derivative of the lumped disturbance. By employing the backstepping method and error transform technique, a controller with low-complexity structure is constructed to guarantee the convergence of the attitude tracking error under an asymmetric performance boundary. Distinguished from the existing backstepping-based prescribed performance approaches, the proposed strategy introduces an innovative virtual control input that fundamentally circumvents the 'differential explosion' problem without resorting to any approximation structures. Rigorous Lyapunov-based stability analysis and numerical simulations are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
