A Distributed, Event-Triggered Approach for Fine-Grained Attitude Control of Spacecraft with Low Communication Requirements

This invention discloses a distributed, event-triggered, low-communication fine-grained attitude control method for spacecraft, aiming to overcome the problems of high communication frequency, severe resource waste, and difficulty in effectively compensating for multi-source interference in existing technologies. This method constructs a deeply coupled attitude model for the spacecraft, comprehensively considering the dynamic effects of combined interferences such as center-of-mass changes and flexural vibrations; designs an event-triggered mechanism based on changes in control signals to update control commands as needed, thereby reducing the communication frequency; and constructs an adaptive composite controller to estimate and compensate for interference and communication errors online, ensuring attitude control accuracy. In a 50-second simulation, this method triggers only 75 communications while controlling the attitude tracking error to within 5 × 10⁻⁶. ‑3 Within rad, it has the advantages of low communication load, high control precision, and strong anti-interference capability, and is suitable for distributed spacecraft systems with strict requirements for attitude stability and communication resource consumption.
