Adaptive external torque estimation by means of tracking a Lyapunov function

Schaub, H.; Junkins, J.L.; Robinett, R.D. - 2010

A real-time method is presented to adoptively estimate three-dimensional unmodeled external torques acting on a spacecraft. This is accomplished by forcing the tracking error dynamics to follow the Lyapunov function underlying the feedback control law. For the case where the external torque is...
