Abstract
This article proposes two kinds of terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) strategies for implementing the finite-time attitude tracking of spacecraft under environmental disturbances and model uncertainties. First, the integral disturbance observer (IDO) is designed to estimate the disturbances and uncertainties. Second, the IDO-based continuous TSMC (CTSMC) method is developed to achieve active disturbance rejection and better tracking performance. Third, to further mitigate the chattering, a modified TSMC (MTSMC) method is constructed by employing an adaptive method and incorporating a piecewise smooth function. Finally, simulations are performed to show the feasibility of the proposed TSMC laws.
