title = "Distributed Full Order Sliding Mode Control for Finite-Time Attitude Synchronization and Tracking of Spacecraft",
abstract = "This paper investigates a distributed finite-time attitude synchronization and tracking problem of multiple spacecraft when a time varying reference signal is available to only a subset of group members. Modified Rodrigues parameters are used for attitude representation. A two layer sliding mode surface with fast non-singular terminal sliding mode surface (FNTSMS) as the inner layer and terminal sliding mode surface (TSMS) as the outer layer is used to create a full order sliding mode surface. The proposed distributed attitude coordination control law guarantees attitude synchronization and tracking as long as their exists atleast one spacecraft that has a direct access to the virtual leader's time varying attitude. Finite-time stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed by Lyapunov-based stability method. Simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed control strategy.",
