title = "On the robust attitude regulation for earth observation spacecraft under hybrid actuation",
abstract = "Mission requirements for Earth observation spacecraft often influence the design philosophy of the latter and may additionally impose constraints and performance objectives on their attitude control functionality. We study the robust attitude regulation problem for such spacecraft, characterized primarily by hybrid actuation consisting of magnetic actuators and thrusters, assuming noisy attitude feedback. In our problem formulation, the angular accelerations induced by the attitude stabilization have to remain sufficiently small due to payload requirements. A linear robust control law is developed, which is tailored to the hybrid actuation scheme by appropriately complementing the directionally constrained magnetic torque with the thrusters.",
