Abstract
Nonlinear feedback control laws are proposed for large angle attitude maneuvers of a rigid satellite by using pulsed thrusters and reaction wheels. The kinematic equations in the quaternions parametrization together with the Euler dynamical equations constitute the mathematical model of the system under study. The design of the control law is based on the nonlinear input-output decoupling input-output linearization and linear pole placement theories. Simulation results are discussed.
