Observer-based multi-objective parametric design for spacecraft with super flexible netted antennas

A multi-objective parametric design method that based on the robust observer is proposed for the attitude control of satellites with super flexible netted antennas. First, a parametric observer-based controller is obtained based on the eigen-structure assignment theory. The closed-loop poles are assigned to desired positions or regions, and full degrees of freedom of the design, which are characterized by a set of parameters, are preserved under the proposed control law. Second, the obtained parameters are comprehensively optimized to make the closed-loop system have lower eigenvalue sensitivity, a smaller control gain, and stronger tolerance to high-order unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances. Finally, comparative simulations are carried out based on practical engineering parameters of a satellite in order to verify the effect of the proposed method, and also to show their superiority over the traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller with filters and the traditional dynamic compensators.
