The problems of large-angle attitude maneuvers of a spacecraft have gained much consideration in recent years. The configurations of the spacecraft considered are: completely rigid, a combination of rigid and flexible parts, or gyrostat-type systems. The performance indices usually include minimum torque integration, power criterion, and frequency-shaped cost functionals. The minimum time slewing problem of a rigid spacecraft was examined. Optimal control theory (Maximum Principal) was applied to the slewing motion of a general rigid spacecraft. Control torque about all three axes was computed. The equations for the system are composed of the Euler dynamical equations in the spacecraft body axes and the quaternion kinematical equation. By introducing the costates for the quaternion and the angular velocity, the Hamiltonian of the system can be formed and the optimal control obtained. Finally the methods are applied to the SCOLE slewing motion. The control variables include three control moments on the Shuttle and two control forces on the reflector. Numerical results are discussed.
