Abstract
Control of the attitude dynamics of a rigid body is an important and practical problem. The interest is motivated by its key role in many space missions such as, satellite surveillance, space station docking and installation, spacecraft formation flying, etc. SMC is known as one of the most powerful techniques to handle nonlinear systems with uncertainties and bounded external disturbances. SMC has been used to address for the attitude control of spacecraft [168, 44, 196, 274, 263]. [44] investigates the attitude tracking and disturbance rejection problems of spacecraft and converts attitude control into a global stabilization problem. In [196], some spacecraft-attitude tracking problems are resolved by HOSMC laws.
