Abstract The orientation control of a rigid body has important applications from pointing and slewing of aircraft, helicopter, spacecraft and satellites, to the orientation control of a rigid object held by a single or multiple robot arms. A rigid body can be defined as a system of particles, in which the distances r ij (r ij is the distance between the ith and the jth particle) are fixed and cannot vary with time. In what follows, the rigid body will sometimes be referred to as satellite or spacecraft, since the need for attitude control systems arises frequently in aerospace technology, but the underlying definitions and methods will be generally applicable to rigid bodies.
