Abstract

A predictive control algorithm is presented in this paper for spacecraft attitude maneuver with nonconvex geometric constraint and bounded inputs. The nonconvex property of the geometric constraint is proved based on the analysis of its Hessian matrix. Then the transformation from nonconvex constraint to convex one is presented by constructing positive definite Hessian matrix. Consequently, a predictive control algorithm for spacecraft attitude maneuver is presented, and it can readily obtain global solution, as well as to solve the safety problem. The simulation results show that the presented algorithm can achieve optimal attitude path and satisfy all constraints.
