Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

Most newcomers to the field of linear stochastic estimation go through a difficult process in
understanding and applying the theory. This book minimizes the process while introducing …

ATTITUDE estimation involves a two-part process: 1) estimation of a vehicle's orientation
from body measurements and known reference observations, such as line-of-sight …

Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering practice, and indeed pervades
virtually every aspect of the modern world. As the synergistic integration of mechanical …

Reliable and cost-effective control of spacecraft should account for modeling uncertainties,
unexpected disturbances, subsystem failures, and limited resources simultaneously. This …

In many industrial/manufacturing applications, a robot manipulator is required to make
contact with the environment (eg, contour following, grinding, scribing, deburring, and …

The main problem addressed is the quaternion-based, attitude tracking control of rigid
spacecraft without angular velocity measurements and in the presence of an unknown …

This brief is devoted to the fixed-time six-DOF tracking control problem for noncooperative
spacecraft fly-around mission in the presence of the parameters uncertainties and …

This paper investigates the velocity-measurement-free feedback control problem associated
with attitude tracking for a rigid spacecraft in the presence of both actuator failures and …

In this paper, the problem of adaptive finite-time attitude containment control for multiple
spacecrafts with unknown external disturbances in spacecraft formation flying is …
