Springer - Finite Time and Cooperative Control of Flight Vehicles

Explore advanced methodologies in aerospace engineering with this technical text from Springer. This book provides a detailed look at finite-time control for attitude stabilization and attitude tracking for individual spacecraft. It is designed for researchers and engineers looking to understand the complexities of attitude synchronization and formation reconfiguration for multiple spacecraft operating within complex networks. A key contribution of this work is the introduction of a new fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface (FNTSMS). By presenting newly designed controllers and specific control laws, the text addresses the need for enhanced performance in spacecraft systems. Readers will find solutions for achieving strong disturbance rejection and high-precision control, establishing a fundamental framework for modern flight vehicle control applications.
