Abstract

The coordinated attitude control via local information exchange for a group of satellites without angular velocity measurements is considered. A decentralized output feedback control law is developed by using quaternions only to guarantee attitude synchronization and tracking. Lead filters are adopted to estimate the unmeasured absolute and relative angular velocities necessary for the coordinated control. The global asymptotic stability for the closed-loop system is shown by applying algebraic graph theory and the Barbalat's Lemma. Simulation results of six formation flying satellites further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law.
