Abstract During the spacecraft attitude maneuvers for the observation of mission targets, multiple instruments may face different pointing constraints, and they are rarely considered by the current attitude maneuver planning methods. In this case, this paper proposes an improved rapidly–exploring random trees star (RRT*) algorithm to obtain discrete quaternion path nodes while satisfying the pointing constraints of multiple sensors. Next, the temporal properties of these path nodes are defined by a trapezoidal path planning method, and bounded constraints on the angular velocity and control moment during the attitude maneuver are introduced. Then, the continuous quaternion curves through the discrete quaternion path nodes are calculated by a segmented cubic spline interpolation function. Finally, the angular velocity and control moment are calculated through the inverse dynamics. The simulation results verify the feasibility of the method. It can satisfy complex constraints and obtain the attitude optimization path, and alleviate the large control moment variations in the start and stop phases of the rest–to–rest maneuver.
