Abstract
Summary This article is devoted to the problem of attitude control for rigid spacecraft subject to multiple disturbances. Due to the limited communication and storage resource, an event‐triggered anti‐disturbance attitude control approach is proposed for the attitude control system (ACS) with multiple disturbances. Different from some existing event‐triggered attitude control methods, the multiple disturbances are considered and can be divided into an uncertain modeled disturbance and a norm bounded equivalent disturbance. A disturbance observer is designed to estimate the modeled disturbance. Based on the framework of disturbance observer‐based control, the proposed event‐triggered anti‐disturbance controller can guarantee that the ACS converges toward a small invariant set, which successfully avoids continuous communication and Zeno phenomenon. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
