Abstract

The analytical algorithm of program quaternion is studied, aiming at the problem of the arbitrary spacecraft attitude-adjusting control. It also provides the analytical constructor method of the program quaternion for any given initial quaternion and angle velocity, terminal quaternion and angle velocity. The advantages of this method are as follows: (1) Good adaptability. Both of the initial and terminal conditions are arbitrary; (2) Simple model. The calculation process only involves the simple algebraic operation; (3) Easy to optimize. By using the program quaternion model, the time consumption in the process of spacecraft attitude adjustment and the maximum angular velocity can be optimized directly. According to the Mathematical simulation results, the program quaternion tracking can be realized by a simple PD control law.
