This study presents a fuzzy tracking controller based on the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy
model of the solar sail. First, the TS fuzzy model is constructed by linearizing the existing …

The problem of time-optimal, rest-to-rest slewing of a flexible spacecraft through a large
angle is studied. These maneuvers are known to have bang-bang control profiles, which …

This paper develops an intelligent attitude control and vibration suppression system for
flexible spacecraft performing a single-axis maneuver with external disturbances and …

We present a fuzzy model-based attitude controller for a solar-sail. First, a Takagi-Sugeno
fuzzy model of solar-sail is derived based on the existing equations of motion. Then, by …

This study presents various fuzzy type controllers for a solar sail. First, a Twin Parallel
Distributed Compensator (TPDC) is built for a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model of the solarsail …

Due to safety reasons and hardware restrictions, systems' actuators such as pumps, valves,
and compressors have movement limitations and threshold capacity. For example, the liquid …

This thesis explores four controllers applied to the attitude control of a solar sail craft with
control masses with the goal of showing benefits over more standard control schemes. The …
